same what book were you reading? I'm reading "Engineering an illustrated history from ancient craft to modern technology" it's just 100 engineering feats humanity has achieved throughout history.
In the image after 1 minute and 35 seconds on the left hand side the mushroom shape of the tuyere is shown. With this design the gas flows out of the tuyere towards the base of the furnace. As a consequence of this design the pressure exerted by the weight of steel in the furnace is significantly less than if the gas was applied vertically into the furnace. The result is that the gas pressure always exceeds the pressure from the weight of steel in the furnace and there is no leakage of steel into the tuyere.
I wonder if, with sufficient heat, raw ores could be separated by boiling them into a gas, and then condensing them to a liquid... based on their boiling points. Fractional Distillation of Metals?
Flux in this application is any substance that promotes the removal of impurities and forms slag. Limestone is commonly used for the removal of impurities from hot metal during Iron-making and Steel-making Processes. Other materials used as fluxes are silica, dolomite, lime, borax, and fluorite.
flux is a waste product. picture a dirty glass of water now you take a tiny pool skipper and skim out all the dirty impurities and it forms a lumps as you skim it out that's what flux is .
Very helpful for my history presentation.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice work, the animations really help to explain the process. Plus the music was great and I was dancing for part of it.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!🕺
I am just here cause the novel I am reading mentioned this technology and tried to explain it. But I found the description hard to understand.

Wonderfully presented
Many thanks
why does the molten steel not flow into the tuyeres at 1:35 ? how can air go out of the tuyeres but steel can't go in?

This should be popular in USA education along with Joseph Wilson swan, isambard kingdom Brunel, James watt too
This video very helpful me nice explanation👌
Glad it helped
Thanks
Wow ... Wow... Wow...
Very cool

Fractional Distillation of Metals?

Sir in the video Spiegeleisen is not added
What's that
@@MusicismoreImportant a rare STD
umm, what is flux?
It’s a like a substance to remove impurities present. If the impurities are acidic we use basic flux or vise versa
