Since its invention until the 1950s, the iron blast furnace was viewed as a strange ‘black box’. Its operation was largely empirical and much of the information needed for monitoring and control of the process was yet to be known. More complete information was needed concerning the process such as the reduction of iron-bearing raw materials, the distribution of materials throughout the stack, t...

In developing country like India due to the remarkable development in road infrastructure, Soil stabilization has become the major issue in construction activity. Stabilization is an unavoidable for the purpose of highway and runway construction, stabilization denotes improvement in both strength and durability which are related to performance. Stabilization is a method of processing available ...

Induction Heating Furnaces are used extensively in industry. The basic principle is that induced eddy currents are used to heat a ferromagnetic material as it passes through a series of coils. Because of the importance of such systems, there has been on-going interest in their design and operation. Past work includes model development from physical principles and optimal design of operational p...

Abstract: The paper presents the research results related to control of the steam boiler parameters: drum level, furnace pressure and steam pressure. It was developed the mathematical model of the water-steam system and furnace part of the boiler. Also, the paper presents the algorithm for real time detection of model parameter variations. In this context a correction method, validate through s...

This paper introduces a multilevel STATCOM for electric arc furnace power quality enhancement. An eleven level cascaded multilevel converter is used to alleviate the impacts of an unbalanced arc furnace load. The STATCOM provides a power electronic-based means of embedded control for reactive power support.

This paper introduces a new method to control resonance frequency and output power of induction heating coil. Induction heating coil can be controlled by single phase sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) inverter .All electrical requirements beside magnetic permeability and resistivity variation for modeling induction heating coil have been considered to make simulations practical .Control ...

In this paper we proposed a modeling method of the electrode lift controlling plant of a n ultra high power electric furnace and verified the accuracy of the proposed model by simulation an d field test. Keyword: ultra high power (UHP) electric furnace, electric lift device, electric lift control

To evaluate the effects of industrial by-products materials on the performance of porous concrete for plant growth, this study investigated the physical, strength, and freeze/thaw resistances of porous concrete for plant growth, prepared by replacing cement with blast furnace slag powder at 60% by weight, and replacing natural stone aggregates with coarse blast furnace slag aggregates at rates ...

A mathematical model of a continuous reheating furnace has been developed to identify the design and operating parameters that significantly affect furnace performance. In this study, the furnace is modeled 3 dimensionally and theMonte Carlomethod is used to find the overall absorption factor. The overall absorption factor is then used to calculate the energy balance for furnace walls, the gas,...
