Zusatztext "I enjoyed the easy writing style which! coupled with worked examples to compliment the theory! and self learning exercises at the end of each chapter! make for a very useful book for industry! academia and R&D?. an enjoyable read providing some extremely valuable theoretical and practical information making it a very useful reference book and teaching aid."-Dr. David Price! Executive Editor! Ironmaking and Steelmaking Journal Informationen zum Autor Professor Mazumdar has been teaching process modeling and steelmaking at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India, for more than two decades. He has coauthored a book, and has written book chapters and numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals. He is well known for numerous original contributions in the area of ladle metallurgy, steelmaking, and continuous casting. Professor Mazumdar is a fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering and works as a consultant to several Indian steel plants. Professor Evans holds the P. Malozemoff chair in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. During his four-decade-long career in metals and materials research, he has made numerous original contributions, and has authored and coauthored several books and monographs. Professor Evans is well known for his contributions to modeling in process metallurgy and aluminum metallurgy. He has to his credit more than 300 publications and has won several awards and honors including the Brimacombe Award, the Berkeley Citation, and the Douglas Gold Medal of Advances in Mechanical Engineering. Klappentext Responding to a resurgence in the steel industry and the need for experts trained in current steelmaking techniques, this volume goes beyond fundamental modeling concepts to address physical and mathematical modeling, steelmaking technology, and the scientific basis of steelmaking. It also provides computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes and covers FLUENT software. Written for students in materials, metallurgy, and engineering, the text is based on classroom-proven notes that have trained two generations of steelmakers. The author includes a practice session on physical mathematical modeling, complete with review problems. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors. Zusammenfassung Addresses fundamental principles of physical and mathematical modeling in steelmaking processes. This book presents an overview of steelmaking, the relevance of modeling and measurements, the evolution of steelmaking, and modern technology. It discusses issues such as environmental emissions, recycling, and product development and quality. Inhaltsverzeichnis Steelmaking, Modeling, and Measurements.
