Molten pig iron is a relatively impure alloy of iron, with about 4 percent carbon and other materials. It is used chiefly as a primary ingredient of steel, but is also used for many finished products such as pipe fittings and structural castings. However, these products are rarely made directly from blast furnace iron. In most cases, the cold pig iron is re-melted in brick or refractory lined cupolas or malleable iron furnaces. In these lined furnaces the quality and analysis of the iron can be more accurately adjusted and controlled, before casting the metal into final form.

Off-the-shelf CFD software is available from firms such as AEA Technology Engineering Software, a Waterloo, Ont., firm that recently introduced an updated version of its CFX-TASCflow, which features a greatly enhanced cavitation model. Cavitation is the primary cause of pump failure, Jones points out. CFD software was more geared to hydraulic flows in pumps and inducers in turbomachinery when Alfa Laval embraced the technology. The payoff has been centrifugal pumps that create less sheer and can handle some pumping jobs previously reserved for positive displacement pumps.

I first learned to drive and work with a farm tractor when I was a teenager, and no guidebooks were anywhere to be found. What it would have meant to me to have the words of John Deere himself to guide me. Tractors are pretty much the same today as they were then. The same basic components are at work; tractor logic is the same; the same principles apply to working the soil. In reading The Operation, Care, and Repair of Farm Machinery I felt comforted knowing that I was sharing common knowledge with farmers of a century ago.I am a farmer whose carpentry skills are limited to chicken coops and harvesting sheds. But if I could hold Barns and Outbuildings in one hand and a hammer with another, I just might be able to make some progress in that area. Barns and Outbuildings covers a broad range of designs, illustrations, floor plans, and building instructions. It is a charming collection of beautiful and practical ideas to answer structural needs that are still necessary: pigpens, tool houses, as well as a host of barns designed according to the whim of the owner and the lay of the land.
