Induction heating equipment is a source of strong and nonhomogeneous magnetic fields, which can exceed occupational reference levels. We investigated a case of an induction tempering tunnel furnace. Measurements of the emitted magnetic flux density (B) were performed during its operation and used to validate a numerical model of the furnace. This model was used to compute the values of B and th...

Manganese oxide (MnO 2 ) microspheres are prepared using an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) process. A mixed solution of potassium permanganate and hydrochloric acid is nebulized into microsized droplets, which are then carried by air fl ow through a furnace tube. Each microdroplet serves as one microreactor and produces one microsphere. Upon heating, KMnO 4 is decomposed into MnO 2 microspher...

Loss-on-ignition (LOI) is an important thermo-chemical property test for many foundry materials. Applications include new sands, green sand systems, chemically bonded cores and molds, sand additives, and reclaimed sands. LOI has been an important quality control measure carried out off-line. The AFS-defined LOI test uses a muffle furnace that is time consuming, often requiring three hours; a mo...

OVERVIEW: The increasing sophistication of home electronics and telecommunication devices is propelling the demand for improved semiconductor devices. The SiGe (silicon germanium)-HBT (hetero-junction bipolar transistor) can realize high-speed operation, low noise, and low power consumption, therefore, its expected application to radio frequency IC communication devices is predicted to grow rap...

Coal char presence in blast furnace dust, indicates the inefficiency of combustion raceway. A retroactive approach has been applied by investigating carbon sources dust via type differentiation methodologies. The current state art for similar applications consists thermogravimetric analysis, however this technique does not allow samples to be analysed line with ever-changing conditions furnace....

In order to solve the problem of energy consumption, improve efficiency utilization and develop new energy, total consumption fluctuation thermal integrated were analyzed. Four suggestions are put forward for power system flexible plant, namely, electric heat storage system, pump g, heating high pressure via steam turbine, which can air capacity reduce coal system. Among them, in case small con...

An analytical model of a spreader-stoker wood waste fired boiler has been developed for pre­ dicting the size of the largest particle which can be entrained by the upward motion of the furnace gases. This model is based on an entrainment model which equates particle in-situ settling velocity to furnace gas velocity and uses a stirred reactor mod­ el to evaluate furnace conditions. The effects o...

The blast-furnace process consists of a large number of processes that are physicochemical, thermal and mechanical interconnected processes. In addition to main processes consisting of iron oxides reduction, pig iron and slag melt creation, also realised are fuel combustion, gas flow, charge and melt flow, dissociation and other reactions in the solid and liquid phases. Inputs to the blast-furn...

The Jaramillo Event was originally defined by Doell and Dalrymple in 1966 on the basis of K^Ar ages from sanidine in the normally, transitionally and reversely magnetized rhyolite domes named Cerro del Abrigo, Cerro Santa Rosa I and Cerro Santa Rosa II, respectively, that erupted following collapse of the archetypal Valles Caldera, New Mexico. We have collected new paleomagnetic data from the t...
