Fundamentals of Refractory Technology


Book Description

This updated reprint provides up-to-date information on refractories technology presented by recognized experts in the field. Produced from focused sessions of two Refractory Ceramics Division meetings, refractory scientists from around the world were invited to provide overviews of the scientific principles related to refractory manufacturing and performance. The result is this informative volume and a current view of the Fundamentals of Refractory Technology. Proceedings of the Lecture Series presented at the 101st and 102nd Annual Meetings held April 25-28, 1999, in Indiana and April 30-May 3, 2000, in Missouri; Ceramics Transactions, Volume 125.




Refractory Technology


Book Description

This book explains the refractories from different fundamental aspects, even with the support of phase diagrams, and also details the prominent applications of these industrial materials. The initial chapters cover fundamentals of refractories, classifications, properties, and testing, while later chapters describe different common shaped and unshaped refractories in detail and special refractories in a concise manner. The second edition includes new classifications, microstructures, the effect of impurities with binary and ternary phase diagrams, and recent trends in refractories including homework problems and an updated bibliography. Features: Provides exclusive material on refractories Discusses detailed descriptions of different shaped and unshaped refractories Covers concepts like environmental issues, recycling, and nanotechnology Explores details on testing and specifications including thermochemical and corrosion behavior Includes a separate chapter on trends of refractories and other issues This book is aimed at junior/senior undergraduate students and researchers of ceramics, metallurgical engineering, and refractories.




Fuels, Furnaces and Refractories


Book Description

Fuels, Furnaces and Refractories focuses on the sources and efficient use of energy available to modern industry. This book begins with the classification, properties, tests, and different kinds of fuels, as well as trends in fuel utilization. This text also tackles the generation and distribution of electricity from both chemical and nuclear energy sources. Subsequent chapters focus on the thermodynamics, physics, chemistry, and kinetics of combustion of fuels; the burner design; the heat transfer and flow of gases through furnaces and flues; and ways of controlling energy supply rates and temperatures. The refractory materials, which are heat-resisting substances, are also described.




Refractories: Production and Properties


Book Description

For students, research workers and manufacturers.










FUELS, FURNACES AND REFRACTORIES


Book Description

Written in a student-friendly manner, the book begins with the introduction to fuels, furnaces and refractories. It further exposes the reader to the different types of fuels with their testing methods. Besides covering the recent developments in the field of non-recovery coke ovens, dry coke cooling, use of coal in DRI and blast furnace, and new energy recovery system, the book also covers all the aspects of refractory systems. For better understanding of the text, the book includes a large number of illustrations. The book also facilitates a thorough understanding of different environmental issues associated with the use of fuel. Finally, the reader is made familiar with the Indian industrial scenario regarding fuels, furnaces and refractories.
