Preface T H I S is intended as a course b o o k for students taking examinations under the b r o a d subject heading " F u r n a c e Technology". It should be particularly useful to students of Metallurgy taking Furnace Technology at b o t h p a r t II a n d p a r t IV of the Institution of Metallurgists examinations. It does, however, cover the requirements of a large n u m b e r of professional, technical a n d university courses. F o r this reason, many of the worked examples have been given in detail. It has been the author's experience that such a treatment is very necessary and not an over-simplification. It is expected that students will be conversant with the appropriate subject-matter of the b o o k , and will have studied, or will be studying, the m o r e theoretical and practical aspects of the subject-matter.

Acknowledgements GRATEFUL acknowledgement is made to the various publishers and authors who have permitted the use of their illustrations. Full references are given in the text. The author also acknowledges the assistance of the Institute of Fuel, the Institution of Metallurgists, the Institution of Heating and Ventilating Engineers, the City and Guilds of London Institute, the Swansea Education Committee, and the University of Wales, in granting permission for the use of past examination questions. The author accepts full responsibility for any errors in reproduction of questions and for the solutions given. Since the change to SI units is imminent a number of the examples have been changed to what they would probably have been in this system of units. Finally, I would like to thank J. N. Harris and D. H. Davies for helpful suggestions, and D. W. Hopkins, without whose considerable help and encouragement this book might never have been completed.
