I would imagine so that it provides a wider base of support for stability and also to create vaccuum to generate more heat. An opening too large will end up with turbulence rather than vaccuum. Any replies to szymkow@bigpond.com
the blast furnace got its name , because its bottom which is called a furnace blows hot air to go up.

Useful Volume of Blast Furnace is the volume of the furnace from the throat level to the level where the taphole is placed. This is known the way basically because that is the region where the useful products from Blast furnace are present.
A blast furnace runs continuously, and input materials are continually dumped in at the top to make their way down through the furnace. Shutting down a blast furnace for relining or other work is a major event in its life.
In essence nothing, a Cupola furnace is a type of blast furnace in that it is charged at the top and tapped at the bottom and air is blasted into the furnace via a wind belt and tuyres. A blast furnace in a steel works is a huge structure operated for long periods of time, it is charged with iron ore, coke and limestone and reduces the iron ore into pure iron. A Cupola furnace, as used in the foundry re melts pig iron, from the blast furnace, along with foundry scrap, steel scrap and scrap iron engine blocks and produced iron alloys of various specifications. A Cupola furnace is usually operated on a daily basis but some types can be continuously operated for several weeks
it is tappered to accomodate the gradual volume expansion of the solid charge as it descends through zones of Stack,from top to bottom in the stack the temperature gradually increases and we need to ascertain smooth burden descent.
iron is collected from blast furnace by drilling the taphole.Taphole is a hole drill and plug after cycle of time located in blast furnace bottom.
the blast furnace got its name , because its bottom which is called a furnace blows hot air to go up.
The blast furnace maintains heat through the combustion of coke (a type of coal) with hot air blown in at the bottom. This creates a high temperature that allows the iron ore to melt and collect at the bottom of the furnace. The heat is further sustained by the chemical reactions occurring within the furnace.
Molten iron sinks to the bottom of the blast furnace due to its higher density compared to the other materials. It is tapped from the furnace and cast into molds to solidify into various shapes for further processing.
Blast furnace = Hochofen
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
Its because air is forced into the furnace to increase temperature. Steve.
Govăjdia Blast Furnace was created in 1810.
A blast furnace is a forge in which ore is smelted to meal, being intensified by a blast of hot air.
