Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
