This study investigates the melting rate of an Erythrophleum suaveolens charcoal-fired
cupola furnace with oxygen enrichment. The analysis focuses on the effects of oxygen …

Many real life problems require optimization of more than one objective functions, these
problems are known as multi-objective optimization problems. Although many algorithms …

Rotary furnaces, apart from being pollution efficient, can maintain the quality standards set
by the present methods of casting. The rising demand for high quality castings necessitates …

In this paper we will study one multi objective optimization problem, which is related to small-
scale foundry. Rotary furnace is used in small-scale foundry to melt the metal. To increase …

Rotary furnaces apart from being pollution efficient can maintain the quality standards set by
the present methods of casting. The rising demand for high quality castings necessitates that …

The rising demand for high quality, homogenous castings necessitates that a vast amount of
manufacturing knowledge be incorporated in manufacturing systems. Use of a rotary furnace …

The melt ratio of a hybrid (2.5 kg of Okaba coal+ 0.5 kg of Erythrophleum Suaveolens
charcoal) fuel-fired cupola furnace used in melting scraps of cast iron was 5.6: 1. This work …

Scraps of cast iron were melted and the melt ratios for ES charcoal-fired cupola furnace with
oxygen enrichment was 9.2: 1. Multiple linear regression model was formulated for the …

The flame temperature plays an important role in melting rate, specific fuel consumption,
melting time, energy consumption and emission levels of LDO-fired rotary furnace. The …
