UNIT II : Learning Objectives: Manufacture and testing of metallurgical coke along with the properties are to be studied. Pulverized fuels Principle of Carbonization Manufacture of Metallurgical coke Properties of Metallurgical Coke Testing of Coke.
UNIT III: Learning Objectives: Study of fuel oil production and fuel gases production and their uses. Principles of production of fuel oils from crude. Manufacture, properties and uses of Producer gas. Water gas Properties and uses of Blast furnace gas and coke oven gas; cleaning of Blast furnace gas.
UNIT IV : Learning Objectives: Study of heat transfer through various bodies. Solving problems pertaining to them. Study of different furnaces.
Steady State Heat Transfer: Importance of Heat transfer, conduction through plane, cylindrical, Spherical and compound walls,shape factor and effect of variable thermal conductivity.
Furnaces: Characteristic features of vertical shaft furnaces, reverberatory furnaces,Arc and Induction furnaces.Tube and muffle type resistance furnaces,continuous furnaces. Sources of heat losses in furnaces and heat balance.
UNIT-V : Learning Objectives: To study various types of pyrometers used in industry.
Pyrometry: Thermo electric pyrometry- peltier and Thomas e.m.f’s . Thermo-electric power of thermocouples. Required properties of thermocouples. Noble and base metal thermocouples. Thermo-pile. Measurement of e.m.f by Milli-voltmeters and potentiometers.Thermometer; optical and radiation pyrometer.
UNIT VI : Learning Objectives: To study different types of Refractories, their manufacturer, properties and industrial users.
Refractories: Desirable properties of Refractories. Methods of classification. Modes of failure of refractories in service and their prevention.Manufacturing methods and properties of Fireclay, Silica Magnesite and Chrome-Refractories.
Testing of Refractories. Applications of refractories in the metallurgical industries.
(Assessment: The student should be evaluated based on the assignments and objective tests. The student’s analytical abilities (with special focus on academically weak students) should be tested periodically in classes by giving problems). Emphasis should be given by conducting tutorial classes at the end of each unit.
