Download or read book Out of This Furnace written by Thomas Bell and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our all-time bestselling title, this classic and powerful novel spanning three generations of a Slovak immigrant family has been adopted for course use in more than 250 colleges and universities nationwide. Out of This Furnace, is Thomas Bell's most compelling achievement. Its story of three generations of an immigrant Slovak family - the Dobrejcaks - still stands as a fresh and extraordinary accomplishment. The novel begins in the mid-1880s with the naive blundering career of Djuro Kracha. It tracks his arrival from the old country as he walked from New York to White Haven, his later migration to the steel mills of Braddock, and his eventual downfall through foolish financial speculations and an extramarital affair. The second generation is represented by Kracha's daughter, Mary, who married Mike Dobrejcak, a steel worker. Their decent lives, made desperate by the inhuman working conditions of the mills, were held together by the warm bonds of their family life, and Mike's political idealism set an example for the children. Dobie Dobrejcak, the third generation, came of age in the 1920s determined not to be sacrificed to the mills. His involvement in the successful unionization of the steel industry climaxed a half-century struggle to establish economic justice for the workers. Out of This Furnace is a document of ethnic heritage and of a violent and cruel period in our history, but it is also a superb story. The writing is strong and forthright, and the novel builds constantly to its triumphantly human conclusion.
Download or read book Beyond Decommissioning written by Michele Laraia and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-08 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Decommissioning: The Reuse and Redevelopment of Nuclear Installations presents the most up-to-date research and guidance on the reuse and redevelopment of nuclear plants and sites. Consultant Michele Laraia extensively builds upon experience from the redevelopment of non-nuclear industrial sites, a technical field that has considerably predated nuclear applications, to help the reader gain a very thorough and practical understanding of the redevelopment opportunities for decommissioned nuclear sites. Laraia emphasizes the socioeconomic and financial benefits from very early planning for site reuse, including how to manage the decommissioning transition, anticipate financial issues, and effectively utilize available resources. With an increasing number of decommissioning projects being conducted worldwide, it is critical that knowledge gained by experts with hands-on experience is passed on to the younger generation of nuclear professionals. Besides, this book describes the experiences of non-nuclear organizations that have reutilized the human, financial, and physical site assets, with adaptations, for a new productive mission, making it a key reference for all parties associated with nuclear operation and decommissioning. Those responsible for nuclear operation and decommissioning are encouraged to incorporate site reuse within an integrated, beginning-to-end view of their projects. The book also appeals to nuclear regulators as it highlights more opportunities to complete nuclear decommissioning safely, speedily, and in the best interests of all concerned parties. - Includes lessons learned from worldwide case studies of reuse and repurposing of nuclear plants from both the nuclear and non-nuclear industries - Provides practical guidance on a broad-spectrum of factors and opportunities for nuclear decommissioning - Identifies the roles and responsibilities of parties involved, including nuclear operators, regulators and authorities, land planners and environmentalists
Download or read book We Wait Beneath the Furnace Blast written by Carolyn Ferrell and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true story of a Tennessee iron furnace, a village, and a young woman trying to maintain a sense of normalcy during the Civil War. As did many young women of the time, Eleanora Nona Willauer confided her most personal thoughts, dreams, frustrations and anxieties in her journal writings as if it were a person capable of listening and making judgments on her entries. Meeting the "right" person to marry was constantly in her thoughts and as she witnessed the reactions of a close relation marrying a Northern officer, Eleanora was, at first, appalled but a transformation occurs during the war years and afterwards that allowed her to not view her suitors as Southerners or Northerners but simply as men with their gifts, failings and faults. In the end, Eleanora allowed her heart to relent to the admonitions of a Yankee captain and found fulfillment after her departure from the little village of Cumberland Furnace to Nashville and beyond. Her journal soon ended but the remainder of her life and those closest to her are chronicled. In the end, the reader is left with a hope that, having suffered through turbulent time, Eleanora finally found her peace, contentment and the life she always desired.

Book excerpt: Blast Furnace Ironmaking: Analysis, Control, and Optimization uses a fundamental first principles approach to prepare a blast furnace mass and energy balance in ExcelTM. Robust descriptions of the main equipment and systems, process technologies, and best practices used in a modern blast furnace plant are detailed. Optimization tools are provided to help the reader find the best blast furnace fuel mix and related costs, maximize output, or evaluate other operational strategies using the ExcelTM model that the reader will develop. The first principles blast furnace ExcelTM model allows for more comprehensive process assessments than the 'rules of thumb' currently used by the industry. This book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate science and engineering students in the fields of chemical, mechanical, metallurgical and materials engineering. Additionally, steel company engineers, process technologists, and management will find this book useful with its fundamental approach, best practices description, and perspective on the future. - Provides sample problems, answers and assignments for each chapter - Explores how to optimize the blast furnace operation while maintaining required temperatures and gas flowrates - Describes all major blast furnace equipment and best practices - Features blast furnace operating data from five continents
