 MICRO-PROJECTREPORT
1. Title of Micro-Project : Identify different heat losses in furnace
available in Workshop.

2. Rationale: These furnace losses include: • Heat storage in the furnace

structure • Losses from the furnace outside walls or structure • Heat
transported out of the furnace by the load conveyors, fixtures, trays, etc.
Radiation losses from openings, hot exposed parts, etc.

3. Aim/Benefits of the Micro-Project : Furnaces are devices that generate

heat in a controlled manner through the combustion of a fuel source. The
thermal energy is then used to heat spaces such as rooms, buildings, or other
structures. Other furnaces may be used in commercial and industrial settings
for the processing of materials.

4. Course Outcomes Achieved : Apply heat engineering in process boilers

and waste heat recovery systems used in procces industry.

9. Output of the Micro-Project :

1. To learned about Furnaces.

2. To learned about types of Furnace.

10. Skill Developed / Learning outcomes of this Micro-Project :

1. Team work
2. To increase the knowledge about Furnaces .
3. Social media Handling.

11. Applications of this Micro-Project :- They are used to provide heat for
a process or can serve as reactor which provides heats of reaction. Furnace
designs vary as to its function, heating duty, type of fuel and method of
introducing combustion air. Heat is generated by an industrial furnace by
mixing fuel with air or oxygen, or from electrical energy.

Information of
Furnace
1 Industrial Heating Furnaces
Furnace is by definition a device for heating materials and therefore user of
energy. Heating furnaces can be divided into batch-type (Job at stationary
position) and continuous type (large volume of work output at regular
intervals). The types of batch furnace include box, bogie, cover, etc. For mass
production, continuous furnaces are used
in general. The types of continuous furnaces include pusher-type furnace, walking
hearth-type furnace, rotary hearth and walking beam-type furnace.The primary
energy required for reheating / heat treatment (say annealing) furnaces are
in the form of Furnace oil, LSHS, LDO
or electricity
 Heat Balance of a Furnace:
Heat balance helps us to numerically understand the present heat loss and
efficiency and improve the furnace operation using these data. Thus,
preparation of heat balance is a pre-requirement for assessing energy
conservation potential.
Furnace Efficiency Testing Method The energy required to increase the
temperature of a material is the product of the mass, the change in temperature
and the specific heat. i.e. Energy = Mass x Specific Heat x rise in temperature.
The specific heat of the material can be obtained from a reference manual and
describes the amount of energy required by different materials to raise a unit of
weight through one degree of temperature. If the process requires a change in
state, from solid to liquid, or liquid to gas, then an additional quantity of energy
is required called the latent heat of fusion or latent heat ofevaporation and this
quantity of energy needs to be added to the total energy requirement. However
in this section melting furnaces are not considered. The total heat input is
provided in the form of fuel or power. The desired output is the heat supplied
for heating the material or process. Other heat outputs in the furnaces are
undesirable heat losses. The various losses that occur in the fuel fired furnace
(Figure 2.3) are listed below.
.
1. Heat lost through exhaust gases either as sensible heat or as incomplete
combustion
2. Heat loss through furnace walls and hearth
3. Heat loss to the surroundings by radiation and convection from the outer
surface of the walls Bureau of Energy Efficiency
Advantages :A furnace is a great system because they heat your home so
quickly. They have faster start times and quickly provide comfort to the entirety
of your home within a matter of minutes.26-Nov- 2018
