Excerpt from Production of Temperature Uniformity in an Electric FurnaceDay and Sosman state that the deviations within the central 24 cm of their furnaces III and IV amounted to 5° at increas ing steadily to about 20° at 700° and reaching about 50° at While the thick-walled iron tube used in these latter trials pro duced markedly better results than the porcelain tube used in the earlier ones, still it is quite clear that even the conductivity of the iron was very far from adequate to secure uniformity, espe cially at temperatures much removed from the one at which a particular distribution of the heating coils gave the best results.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
