2. Krupp–Renn process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krupp–Renn_Process

   Only 5% of the iron is reduced to metal, leaving unburned coal as fuel for the subsequent melting stage in the electric furnace. This proven process (also known as the RKEF process, for Rotary Kiln-Electric Furnace) has become the norm: at the beginning of the 21st century, it accounted for almost all nickel laterite processing. [67]

3. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

   Older furnaces sometimes relied on gravity instead of a blower to circulate air. [1]Gas-fired forced-air furnaces have a burner in the furnace fueled by natural gas.A blower forces cold air through a heat exchanger and then through duct-work that distributes the hot air through the building. [2]

4. Steam cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_cracking

   This degrades the efficiency of the reactor, so reaction conditions are designed to minimize this. Nonetheless, a steam cracking furnace can usually only run for a few months at a time between de-cokings. Decokes require the furnace to be isolated from the process and then a flow of steam or a steam/air mixture is passed through the furnace coils.

5. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   A single-stage furnace has only one stage of operation, it is either on or off. This means that it is relatively noisy, always running at the highest speed, and always pumping out the hottest air at the highest velocity. One of the benefits to a single-stage furnace is typically the cost for installation.

6. Basic oxygen steelmaking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_oxygen_steelmaking

   By 2000 the basic oxygen furnace accounted for 60% of global steel output. [3] Modern furnaces will take a charge of iron of up to 400 tons [4] and convert it into steel in less than 40 minutes, compared to 10–12 hours in an open hearth furnace.

7. Electric arc furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_arc_furnace

   This furnace is now on display at Station Square, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [3] A schematic cross section through a Heroult arc furnace. E is an electrode (only one shown), raised and lowered by the rack and pinion drive R and S. The interior is lined with refractory brick H, and K denotes the bottom lining. A door at A allows access to the ...
