  2. Blast furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_furnace

    Blast furnaces operate on the principle of chemical reduction whereby carbon monoxide converts iron oxides to elemental iron. Blast furnaces differ from bloomeries and reverberatory furnaces in that in a blast furnace, flue gas is in direct contact with the ore and iron, allowing carbon monoxide to diffuse into the ore and reduce the iron oxide.

  4. Blast furnace gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_furnace_gas

    An early internal combustion blowing engine of around 1900, powered by furnace gas. Blast furnace gas (BFG) [1] is a by-product of blast furnaces that is generated when the iron ore is reduced with coke to metallic iron. It has a very low heating value, about 3.5 MJ/m 3 (93 BTU /cu.ft), [2] because it consists of about 51 vol% nitrogen and 22 ...

  5. Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey

    The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-use, tiltrotor military transport and cargo aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.

  6. Basic oxygen steelmaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_oxygen_steelmaking

    Basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS, BOP, BOF, or OSM), also known as Linz-Donawitz steelmaking or the oxygen converter process, [1] is a method of primary steelmaking in which carbon-rich molten pig iron is made into steel. Blowing oxygen through molten pig iron lowers the carbon content of the alloy and changes it into low-carbon steel.

    The Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is an American twin-engine, all-weather, supersonic stealth fighter aircraft.As a product of the United States Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program, the aircraft was designed as an air superiority fighter, but also incorporates ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence capabilities.

  8. 2021 United States federal budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_United_States_federal...

    A budget resolution for the 2021 fiscal year began to be considered by the 117th United States Congress in February 2021. As appropriations for the fiscal year had already been approved, the budget resolution's main purpose was to begin the budget reconciliation process to allow a COVID-19 pandemic relief bill to be passed without the possibility of being blocked by a filibuster.

  9. Lead smelting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_smelting

    The blast furnace is similar in structure to a cupola furnace used in iron foundries. The furnace is charged with slag, scrap iron, limestone, coke, oxides, dross, and reverberatory slag. The coke is used to melt and reduce the lead. Limestone reacts with impurities and floats to the top. This process also keeps the lead from oxidizing. The ...
