Who invented a steam boiler furnace?

Inventor Granville Woods received his first patent on January 3, 1884 for a steam boiler furnace.


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.


How do you seal gas flue from furnace?

To seal a gas flue from a furnace, first ensure the flue is properly disconnected from the furnace. Use high-temperature silicone sealant or a metal flue cap to cover the opening, ensuring it is airtight to prevent gas leaks. Additionally, inspect the area for any cracks or gaps and seal them with appropriate materials, such as metal tape or a chimney cap, to ensure proper sealing and safety. Always follow local building codes and regulations for gas appliances.


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.

How can copper be extracted from its ore?

Copper can be extracted from its ore through a process called smelting. The ore is first crushed and then heated in a furnace to separate the copper from the other elements. The molten copper is then collected as a metal.


How do you extract copper by smelting?

Copper ore is first crushed and ground into a fine powder. It is then heated in a furnace along with a reducing agent such as carbon or coke, which removes oxygen from the ore and leaves behind the copper. The molten copper is then cast into molds to form solid copper bars or ingots.


How do you make pig iron?

Pig iron is crude iron as first obtained from a smelting furnace, in the form of oblong blocks.


When did people first make fire in the stone or bronze age?

Fire was discovered in the stone age, the bronze age would not have been possible unless humans already had fire by that point since bronze smelting requires a very hot furnace.


How do you extract iron from rocks?

To extract iron from rocks, a process called smelting is used. First, the iron ore is crushed and then heated in a blast furnace with carbon (coke) and limestone to remove impurities. The high heat causes the iron to melt and separate from the other elements, forming molten iron that can be poured and shaped into desired products.


How is iron found in nature and what are the processes involved in its extraction?

Iron is commonly found in nature in the form of iron ores, such as hematite and magnetite. The extraction of iron involves several processes, including mining, crushing, and smelting. First, the iron ore is mined from the ground and then crushed into small pieces. The crushed ore is then heated in a blast furnace with coke (a form of carbon) and limestone. This process, known as smelting, separates the iron from the other elements in the ore, producing molten iron that can be further processed into various forms.

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.
