Abstract
The consumption of carbon and the heat in an operating blast furnace constitutes a basic factor for a theoretical evaluation of the pig-iron manufacturing operation, together with the material consumption.
This report gives the result of studying how the carbon consumption is performed in each part of a blast furnace, how the calory thus generated is distributed and to what extent the calory consumption of charged materials will amount, referring also to the application of those results to the blast furnace operation based on the studies from both theoretical and practical aspects.
