The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron prior to the open hearth furnace. 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.

Related decarburizing with air processes had been used outside of Europe for hundreds of years, but not on an industrial scale.[1] One such process has existed since the 11th century in East Asia, where the scholar Shen Kuo describes its use in the Chinese iron and steel industry.[2][3] In the 17th century, accounts by European travelers detailed its possible use by the Japanese.[4]

The modern process is named after its inventor, the Englishman Henry Bessemer, who took out a patent on the process in 1856.[5] The process was claimed to be independently discovered in 1851 by the American inventor William Kelly,[4][6] though there is little to back up this claim.[7][8][9][10]

The process using a basic refractory lining is known as the "basic Bessemer process" or "Gilchrist-Thomas process" after the discoverer Sidney Gilchrist Thomas

mart [117]

Answer:

10 Workers would cause the marginal cost to exceed the marginal benefit.

Explanation:The marginal cost is the total cost of a final product. Including every dollar spent. Taking a Lynch perspective here, the cost would consider equipment, corporation properties, and every other expense. So, at the end of all the sum of investment, we will obtain a number of costs related to each unit produced. The bigger the amount, the smaller the cost price. Therefore, it is very important. The Marginal benefit is the advantage a customer has over the price of a certain product in case of requiring to buy two of the same. In other words, is the price the customer is willing to pay for a second unit of the same product. In our case, the combination of both gets us 10 workers because at that price we would require 10 workers o exceed the price the customer is willing to pay for a second unit of the same product.

padilas [110]

As the Soviet Union dissolved and the cold war ended the balance of power in Europe and especially Eastern European changed forever.

While earlier, the Soviet Union held sway over much of Eastern Europe, that completely disintegrated overnight. The Soviet influence in the region was shattered.

On the edges of Eastern Europe were the NATO countries, who quickly became the dominant political and military force in the region without any rival.

Communism and socialist policies also ended as newly freed countries started to transition to market-based economy.
