Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical evaluation of alternative cooling mediums for furnace operations, focusing on the use of MEG (mono-ethylene glycol) and water mixtures. The text explores the cooling efficiency of these mixtures compared to traditional water cooling systems, highlighting the potential to enhance safety and operational performance. The chapter presents detailed test setups and procedures, including finite element analysis (FEA) modeling and experimental test work, to assess the cooling efficiency and explosion risk of MEG and water mixtures. The results indicate that a 70% MEG to 30% water mixture can achieve similar heat removal rates as water but at higher bulk velocities. The text also discusses the safety advantages of using MEG and water mixtures, as they significantly reduce the risk of explosions when in contact with molten matte. The conclusions emphasize the potential of MEG and water mixtures as a safer and more efficient cooling option for furnace operations, providing valuable insights for professionals in the field.
