Explanation:

The two types of furnaces used in steel production are:

Basic oxygen furnace

In basic oxygen furnace, iron is combined with the varying amounts of the steel scrap and also small amounts of the flux in the Blast Furnace. Lance is introduced in vessel and blows about 99% of the pure oxygen causing rise in temperature to about 1700°C. This temperature melts scrap and the impurities are oxidized and results in the liquid steel.

Electric arc furnace

Electric arc furnace reuses existing steel. Furnace is charged with the steel scrap. It operates on basis of electrical charge between the two electrodes providing heat for process. Power is supplied through electrodes placed in furnace, which produce arc of the electricity through scrap steel which raises temperature to about 1600˚C. This temperature melts scrap and the impurities can be removed through use of the fluxes and results in the liquid steel.

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 h duration will raise the carbon concentration

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

135 hour

Explanation:

It is given that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 hour will raise the carbon concentration by 0.35 wt% at a point of 2 mm from the surface.

We have to find the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 6 mm position.

we know that $\frac{x_1^2}{Dt}=constant$ where x is distance and t is time .As the temperature is constant so D will be also constant

So $\frac{x_1^2}{t}=constant$

then $\frac{x_1^2}{t_1}=\frac{x_2^2}{t_2}$ we have given $x_1=2 mm\ ,t_1=15 hour\ ,x_2=6\ mm$ and we have to find $t_2$ putting all these value in equation

$\frac{2^2}{15}=\frac{6^2}{t_2}$

so $t_2=135\ hour$

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: Hello the question is incomplete below is the missing part

Question: determine the temperature, in °R, at the exit

answer:

T2= 569.62°R

Explanation:

T1 = 540°R

V2 = 600 ft/s

V1 = 60 ft/s

h1 = 129.0613 ( value gotten from Ideal gas property-air table )

first step : calculate the value of h2 using the equation below 

assuming no work is done ( potential energy is ignored )

h2 = [ h1 + ( V2^2 - V1^2 ) / 2 ] * 1 / 32.2 * 1 / 778

∴ h2 = 136.17 Btu/Ibm

From Table A-17

we will apply interpolation

attached below is the remaining part of the solution
