The adjacent diagram depicts a typical water-cooled surface condenser used in power stations to condense exhaust steam from steam turbines driving electrical generators, among other applications. [2][3][4][5] There are many variations in manufacturing designs depending on the manufacturer, size of t

Surface condensers are water-cooled shell-and-tube heat exchangers used to condense waste steam from steam turbines in thermal power stations. [1][2][3] These condensers are heat exchangers that convert vapor from a gaseous state to a liquid state at subatmospheric pressure. Where the supply of cool

In the Old World, the first metals to be smelted were tin and lead. The earliest known cast lead beads were found at the site of Çatalhöyük in Anatolia (Turkey) and date to around 6500 BC, but the metal may have been known earlier. [citation needed]Since this discovery occurred thousands of years be

Smelting is the process of heating ore to extract base metals. [1] It is a form of extractive metallurgy. It is used to extract a variety of metals from ore, including silver, iron, copper and other base metals. Smelting uses heat and chemical reducing agents to break down ore, expel other elements

Induction furnace is an electric furnace that uses the induction electric heating effect of materials to heat or melt materials. The main components of induction furnace include inductor, furnace body, power supply, capacitor and control system.
