"...His disciples came to Him and said, 'Explain to us the parable about the weeds in the field.' 'The sower of the good seed,' He answered, 'is the Son of Man; the field is the world; the good seed is the sons of the Kingdom; the weeds, the sons of the Evil One. The enemy who sows the weeds is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age. The reapers are the angels. Just as the weeds are collected together and burnt with fire, SO IT WILL BE AT THE END OF THE AGE. The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather OUT OF HIS KINGDOM ALL HINDRANCES, and whoever practices iniquity, and WILL THROW THEM INTO THE FIERY FURNACE. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'" (Matt.13:36-42 MNT Montgomery New Testament)

And the "parable of the net": "...the Kingdom of Heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full they hauled it upon the beach, and sat down and sorted the good fish into baskets, but threw the worthless fish away. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from the righteous, and FLING THEM INTO THE FURNACE OF FIRE.'" (verses 47-49)

How nut coke is charged in blast furnace?

According to steel.nic.in; Coke Rate is measured in Kgs of BF Coke consumed per tonne of Hot Metal produced in the Blast Furnace(Kg/THM). By convention, this excludes coke (nut/pearl coke) mixed with sinter etc.

Introduction of high quality coke to a blast furnace will result in lower coke rate, higher productivity and lower hot metal cost. This principal is followed by many private chemical firms like Coke Oven Consultants and so on.

Why does the furnace kick out the breaker?

The only reason the dryer breaker will trip is it senses an overload or a short circuit on the circuit. To test this unplug the dryer and see if the breaker will stay latched. If it does then the wiring to the receptacle is not at fault. If you want to delve further into the problem, leave the dryer unplugged and remove the inspection panel at the back of the dryer and check the connections. Sometimes the screw terminals become loose and corroded and cause the dryer to draw more current. To compensate for the higher resistance at the faulty terminals the dryer will try to draw more current that the breaker will allow. If everything looks good after trying both of these things it is time for a repairman to come in and look at the dryer itself, as the fault is probably an internal problem within the dryer body.
