This book was released on 2016 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, the adoption of electric arc furnace steelmaking technology is examined within a growth model of technological diffusion. The results indicate that the trend rate of adoption of electric are furnace technology is well represented by the S-shaped growth curve. Further results indicate that the trend rate of adoption is, for the most part, stable with respect to locally changing factors to production, such as input prices and activity levels. It appears that inertial aspects have an overwhelming influence on the diffusion process.

Book excerpt: In this thesis the relationship between the spread of technology and the extent of economic development is analysed. The quantitative dimension of the spread of technology is usually analysed in studies on the speed and extent of diffusion across countries and industries. The qualitative dimension concerns the adoption and use of technology which is usually studied in the literature on technology adoption and adaptation by firms. A process technology in two countries that differ considerably in their level of development, viz. UK and India, is considered. This controls for the technological and industrial specificity of the spread process allowing the influence of the development factor to be seen more clearly. The study is conducted at the industry/economy level, as well as the firm level. In this way the effects of the studying the different levels of aggregation together, and the relation between adoption and diffusion are clarified. The study indicates a wide diversity of patterns in the spread of technology across countries. Differences in both the coefficients of the diffusion curve and in the underlying functional form are identified. A deeper analysis of the patterns of spread in India and Britain reveals the greater influence of supply and infrastructure constraints in India, while in Britain the entire process was largely consumption constrained. If it can be assumed that capacity and production side constraints are more likely in industrialising economies, these dynamics could be inferred as more typical in influencing the spread of technology in developing countries. A study of the use and adoption of the technology by firms shows the importance of existing market structures, defined broadly to include the structure and organisation of production and consumption. In fact the composition of consumption in terms of users and user sectors was vital in defining rules of competition and in what way technology was harnessed as a competitive force. In the purely technological sense of operational efficiency it is shown that Indian firms performed more poorly than British firms. Furthermore this poor performance could be traced back to diversification strategies of Indian firms which in turn were a response to poorer levels of market formation in the economy.
Download or read book Innovation in Electric Arc Furnaces written by Yuri N. Toulouevski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book equips a reader with knowledge necessary for critical analysis of innovations in electric arc furnaces and helps to select the most effective ones and for their successful implementation. The book also covers general issues related to history of development, current state and prospects of steelmaking in Electric Arc Furnaces. Therefore, it can be useful for everybody who studies metallurgy, including students of colleges and universities. The modern concepts of mechanisms of Arc Furnace processes are discussed in the book at the level sufficient to solve practical problems: To help readers lacking knowledge required in the field of heat transfer as well as hydro-gas dynamics, it contains several chapters which provide the required minimum of information in these fields of science. In order to better assess different innovations, the book describes experience of the application of similar innovations in open-hearth furnaces and oxygen converters. Some promising ideas on key issues regarding intensification of the heat, which are of interest for developers of new processes and equipment for Electric Arc Furnaces, are also the concern of the book It should be noted, that carrying out the simplified calculations as distinct from using "off the shelf" programs greatly promotes comprehensive understanding of physical basics of processes and effects produced by various factors. This book gives numerous examples of such calculations performed by means of simplified methods and formulas. Getting familiar with material in this book will allow the reader to perform required calculations on his / her own without any difficulties.

This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Timeliness is a particularly relevant issue in the field of innovation and diffusion research. This book originates from the observation that innovations are time critical and asks the question: when and how do windows of opportunity for new environmental technologies emerge and why do they disappear again? By analysing these windows of opportunity and possible time strategies for innovation policies, this book represents a highly topical contribution to a front line issue in environmental and innovation research. The theoretical framework is applied to well-investigated and highly informative case studies to produce an interesting, insightful and coherent volume.' - Joseph Huber, Martin-Luther-University, Halle, Germany This book is the first attempt to systematically introduce the aspect of time into economic and environmental innovation policy. The authors demonstrate how 'windows of opportunity' for technological innovations emerge and also explain how they can be identified and effectively exploited. Technological innovations are widely considered as an opportunity to realise a double dividend - protect the environment and increase profits by introducing a more sustainable technology. However, intervention by the state is often needed to overcome the competitive disadvantage caused by externalities, path dependency and lock-in. The authors provide extensive evidence that this resistance to technological change is subject to substantial temporal variation. They argue that it is economically and politically sensible to identify periods of time in which resistance is weakest and to exploit these 'windows of opportunity' whenever and wherever they occur. They also highlight how time strategies for innovation policy can involve the preparation and creation of 'windows' which do not yet exist. Throughout the book, they use an array of varied and interesting case studies to confirm and illustrate their theoretical findings. These address issues such as CFC phase-out, the lean-burn engine versus the catalytic converter, ecological alternatives to chemical pesticides and the zero emission vehicle mandate in California. By exploring the relationship between time strategies and technological change, this book will undoubtedly lead to a more efficient and sustainable innovation policy. It will be required reading for academics, researchers and policymakers working in the fields of environmental innovation, sustainability, technology policy and political science.

Book excerpt: The book contains an analysis of theoretical dependences, bottlenecks and limiting factors of a new technology used in both Consteel and shaft furnaces operating with flat bath. Performances obtained and potentialities of these furnaces are examined. Based on this analysis, a steel melting aggregate of the new type - fuel arc furnace FAF has been developed and offered. In comparison with the best modern electric arc furnaces of identical capacity the productivity of FAF is higher by 36% and electrical energy consumption is lower by a factor of 1.8. Environment characteristics are considerably improved.
