What is twin hearth furnace?

Russian Designed, Twin Hearth Furnaces are the modernized version of the Older Open Hearth Furnaces which now comprise two adjoining furnaces side by side to alternately use up the sensible heat of the gases generated due to the steel making process being carried out in one furnace to heat up the scrap and other materials in the other furnace till the first one is tapped and then the entire process is repeated for the next heat that is to be carried out in the first furnace utilizing the sensible heat of the second furnace. This cycle is alternated and the result is to cut on time of production and minimizing heating up costs. In India these types of furnaces are still being used at State Owned Steel Authority Of India Limited's Bhilai Steel Plant and IISCO Steel Plant. They are followed by Ingot casting route and the Blooming and Billet milling plant.


3 If you're central AC and heating system has two intake ducts in each room high and low which should be open in the winter when you are heating the house?

First, I will assume that the two "intake" ducts deliver air from the furnace or air conditioner depending on the season. These are usually referred to as "supply ducts." Since air warmer than the surrounding air rises, which would be true if it was coming from the working furnace in winter, the maximum transfer of heat from the air entering the room to the air in the room (by mixing) will take place while the air rises from a supply duct at the low point in the room. Hot air entering from the upper supply duct would stay at the ceiling of the room and only transfer heat to the other air by radiation. The room would be heated mainly by replacement as the cooler air below was drawn to the return duct (usually just one on the main floor in a large common room) which returns the air to the furnace. If the two "intake" ducts come from the furnace, then the other duct should be shut unless it can act as a return to the furnace for heating. Either way, the warmer air should enter as low as possible and the cooler air be drawn out from as low a position as possible. The logic of reversing this system in the summer (cold air entering in the upper ducts and exiting through the [doorway to the one] return duct should be obvious.


When was the Bessemer steel process discovered?

The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron. The process is named after its inventor, Henry Bessemer, who took out a patent on the process in 1855. The process was independently discovered in 1851 by William Kelly. The process had also been used outside of Europe for hundreds of years, but not on an industrial scale. The key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation also raises the temperature of the iron mass and keeps it molten.

What is the extraction of metals?

First you mine the ore (typically oxides or sulfides of the desired metals), then you crush the ore, then you smelt the ore in a furnace. Some metals like aluminum must be extracted from the ore electrolytically instead of by smelting.

Describe the iron smelting process of the natural wind powered furnance?

An ancient wind-powered iron smelting technology in Sri LankaBEFORE the development of the blast furnace, iron smelting was achieved by ore reduction at temperatures below the melting point of the metal, forming an agglomerated 'bloom' of low-carbon iron and slag. The forced-draught (bellows-operated) shaft furnace known from archaeological studies is usually regarded as the pinnacle of this early smelting technology1--3. Examples of natural-draught furnaces, in which gas buoyancy in a shaft of sufficient height induces a draught adequate to drive the smelting process4, are also known, but are generally regarded as disappointingly inefficient by comparison5. Here I report the discovery and excavation at Samanalawewa, Sri Lanka, of a previously unknown furnace type. The furnaces are all situated on the western margins of hills and ridges, where they are exposed to the strong monsoon winds. Field trials using replica furnaces confirm that this furnace type uses a wind-based air-supply principle that is distinct from either forced or natural draught, and show also that it is capable of producing high-carbon steel. This technology sustained a major industry in this area during the first millennium AD, and may have contributed to South Asia's early pre-eminence in steel production.
