The making of calculations respecting the quantitative working of any process, furnace or piece of apparatus used in metallurgical operations is of the greatest importance for estimating the real efficiency of the process, for determining avenues of waste and possible lines of improvement, and for obtaining the best possible comprehension of the real principles of operation involved. The possibility of making such calculations respecting any process, furnace or apparatus depends on skill in collecting such necessary data as can be obtained by observation or measurement, the insight or intuition to see the further use which can be made of said data when once obtained, and, finally on the possession of a working knowledge of the fundamental chemical, physical and mechanical principles involved in the calculations. The highest desideratum, all in all, however, is a plain analytical, common sense mind, capable of clear, logical thinking. It is the writers conviction that no study of details, or even observation of plants in actual operation, can supply the insight into metallurgical processes and principles, such as is gained by these calculations, in addition to the high grade of mental training involved. SCOPE OF THE TREATISE Discussion of the chemical equation. Weights and volumes of gases. Correction of gas volumes for temperature and pressure. Combustion of commercial fuels. Heat of chemical combination; of combustion. Theoretical flame temperatures: With pure oxygen. With ordinary air.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive examination of metallurgical calculations, offering a toolbox of real-world practices and principles for both artisans and students alike. Informed by physical, chemical, and mechanical principles and referencing experimental results, this text presents a framework of ideas and calculations that can be utilized in practical terms for refining metallurgy processes. As a staple of metallurgical instruction, the author challenges readers to go beyond rote formulas and equations, and consider the broader picture of metallurgical operations. The author's thoughtful design invites readers to master these principles, calculations and their working principles, ultimately leading to a strong and commanding grasp of metallurgy as a science. If ever rule-of-thumb is to be replaced in a metallurgical process by scientific operation, the change must be based on experiments, classification of results, and calculations therefrom. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
