What are the two types of furnaces used in steel production?

Engineering
1 answer:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

The two types of furnaces used in steel production are:

<u>Basic oxygen furnace </u>

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.

<u>Electric arc furnace</u>

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.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer: hardness

Explanation:

Hardness is a measure of a material's ability to resist plastic deformation. In other words, it is a measure of how resistant material is to denting or scratching. Diamond, for example, is a very hard material. It is extremely difficult to dent or scratch a diamond. In contrast, it is very easy to scratch or dent most plastics.

Coal fire burning at 1100 k delivers heat energy to a reservoir at 500 k. Find maximum efficiency.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

<em>55%</em>

Explanation:

hot reservoir = 1100 K

cold reservoir = 500 K

<em>This is a Carnot system</em>

For a Carnot system, maximum efficicency of the system is given as

Eff = 1 - \frac{Tc}{Th}

where Tc = temperature of cold reservoir = 500K

Th = temperature of hot reservoir = 1100 K

Eff = 1 - \frac{500}{1100}

Eff = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 or<em> 55%</em>

Someone should help me and explain stress strain curve​
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

In engineering and materials science, a stress–strain curve for a material gives the relationship between stress and strain. It is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the deformation, from which the stress and strain can be determined (see tensile testing).

The steady-state data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200K and 400K, re
Anni [7]

Answer:

a) W_cycle = 200 KW , n_th = 33.33 %  , Irreversible

b) W_cycle = 600 KW , n_th = 100 %     , Impossible

c) W_cycle = 400 KW , n_th = 66.67 %  , Reversible

Explanation:

Given:

- The temperatures for hot and cold reservoirs are as follows:

  TL = 400 K

  TH = 1200 K

Find:

For each case W_cycle , n_th ( Thermal Efficiency ) :

(a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

(b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

(c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200kW

- Determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible.

Solution:

- The work done by the cycle is given by first law of thermodynamics:

                                 W_cycle = QH - QC

- For categorization of cycle is given by second law of thermodynamics which states that:

                                 n_th < n_max     ...... irreversible

                                 n_th = n_max     ...... reversible

                                 n_th > n_max     ...... impossible

- Where n_max is the maximum efficiency that could be achieved by a cycle with Hot and cold reservoirs as follows:

                                n_max = 1 - TL / TH = 1 - 400/1200 = 66.67 %

And,                         n_th = W_cycle / QH

a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 400 = 200 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 200 / 600 = 33.33 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 33.333 %                n_max = 66.67 %

                                       n_th < n_max  

      Hence,                Irreversible Process  

b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 0 = 600 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 600 / 600 = 100 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

                 n_th = 100 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th > n_max  

      Hence,               Impossible Process              

c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 200 = 400 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 400 / 600 = 66.67 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 66.67 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th = n_max  

      Hence,                Reversible Process
