WN HAT BALANCE ON THs FOUNDRY CUPOLA AT MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE A Thesis Submitted to The Faculty of MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE By F. H. Prescott H. &. Spurr R. E. Decker R. &. Olin. Candidates for the Degree of Bachelor of Science. June, 1915. THESIS 4 HSAT BALANCS OM FOUNDRY CUPOLA. The object of this thesis is to show the eources of heat and the heat distribdvution in the foundry cupola; also the amount of logs and gain in the constituent elements of the iron from the oharging door to the spout. Our tests, which were made upon the College Cupola, have shown that about twenty percent of the available heat goes to melt the iron, the largeet of the remainder going into the etack cases. It wse aleo determined that the elements in the charged irons atl decreased more than the iron itself, except sulfur which showed an inoresse due to the high percentage of sulfur in the coke ueed. The apparatuses and metnods used in determining these resulte were rather simple. see illustration. sne results of the teets were secured by messuring the following quanti- ties an indicated. Charging Floor:- Weighing of iron and coke charged by platform scales. Analysis of stack gases at churgimgdoor., ine gases were drawn through a eset of pipes by means of an arpi- rator and were later analyzed in an Orsat apparatus. ihe method of analyzing the gae used on the first teste was to draw the gae directly into the Oreat apparatus and ahalyze at once. Tne results were very unsatisfactory due to trouble in getting a good sample, and the time necesusry to analyze the \ gas.

B. t ue per ib. of iron charged = 7632 + 3856 x 68 x 0.237 = 32.0 8. Sensible heat in moisture of blast. - Pounds of moisture per lb. of iron charged = 0.023. Total heat = 1089.4 B. t. u. per 1b, Then B. t. ue. per lb. of iron charged = 0.023 x 1089.4 = 25.0 9. Heat and formation of slag. = This is a matter of some uncertainty, but is of minor importance. Theheat of formation of Ca0 + Sido is 278 B. t. u. per 1b., and if FeO + 8109 is B. t. uw. per 1b. and if we assume that the slag consists of equal parts of each and that we have 0.089 1b. of slag made per 1b. of iron charged, then the heat of formation of the slag is in B. t. us. per lb. of iron charged 0.089 x 200 = 17.8. 1a.

Tempersture Of iron iseuing from spout 2138 °r, B. t. up. per lb. of iron charged = 0.93 (1950 x 0.12 + 41.4 + 188 x 0.24) = 298. 2a. Heat in molten slag. - B. t. up. per lb. of slag = 1 x(t x (0.17 + 0.0000t) + latent heat of fusion + (t'-t) 0.35], where t = melting point of slag.or say 2000°F., and t’ = the temperature at which it issues from the cupola, or say 2250°F, ro Henoe EB. te. up’ per lb. of iron charged = 0.069 (2000 x 0.2 +160 + 250 x 0.35) = 0.089 x 747.5=66.5 3a. Heat to evaporate moisture in cok@-- B, t. u. per 1b. of iron charged = 0.187 x 0.0106 x 970 = 1.92. 4a.

This le-ds us to believe that teo much coke is put on the bed. 4xanples of modern cupola practice confirms this rvtstenent. Our iron melted per pound of coke is leer them in comparative oupola practice, Thie makee our heat loar by radiation and error hich. vtandard practice mtates that aout one tnousand cubic feet of air should be used per minute. We used about 1800 cubic feet per minute. By reducing the bed, we could reduce the amount of air used, ¥rom our total hest balance, it is evident that the crest souree of wasted hzat in the cupola is in the eacaring grg9es. ine tempevature of the top crees denends on tiie maount of heat absorbed by the stack in proportion te the tots] amount generated. ore nest ie generated when C is burned to CO. gae rapid rate of blowing that yas necesassry to the formation ef CO>o increasc@ the velocity of the garee and gives lese opportunity for the sbeerption of heat by the etack.

If tie ie done, the fsn enn be run slower, %e #196 au; eat that in - 28. charging, the cupola should ve kept full to the chereing door, This will eliminate a large part of the waste heat in top gxees. Since a high sulfur coke is used, more limestone should be charged to reduce the aulfur in the castings. i ian oe : Se ‘ , vez 4 B a Ae ~ z S Spy : & *. ‘ . _— le —— ocr ' Las , Bn “MECHANICAL ENGINEERING LABORATC Me MICH ! » v2 4 as AD A; ESCOT-7~ py. * coke R557 14.6 .@ IL+F 18 Vie) ona Ihe 6B $ JF a ad S a a) nh = oe Fortin ME. 07-1 iy SF a Sheet No. MECHANICAL: ENGINEERING LABORATORY MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Runuing Loot keot- CS ARn.
