This statistics has been carried out from data of twelve biggest producers of coke silica.
Material corrosion gradually occurs displaying as a modification in pore distribution on behalf of greater pores and reduction of mechanical strength of walling.
Fig. 1 Silica stones for a coke oven battery Fig. 2 Silica, enlarged 40-times, optical microscope Fig. 3 Silica, enlarged 2100-times, REM Trends in field of the coke industry silica The development of coke silica quality marks aims to increase the density, and thus the thermal conductivity of silica and the generated reduction of the coke coking times.
Using silica of these parameters increases the heat transfer through the combustion chambers walls, which induces the coking time reduction.

Different types of sensors and actuators are fitted in respective places in order to collect the data and send it to the processor.
In injection mode the reduction in HC is 30% at 3655 rpm over carburettor mode.
As engine speed increases, less residual exhaust gases are present in injection mode, hence reduction in HC emissions.
It is observed that at 2500 rpm the reduction in CO in injection mode is 20 % lesser than that in carburetor mode.

That is because cerium has a higher reduction potential than copper and nickel, which caused the formation of metallic cerium and its subsequent diffusion in the metallic matrix during the thermal treatment.
The results indicate the presence of Cerium contributes to the oxidation of the metallic matrix due to its high reduction potential.

It was evident that the use of routines optimizers coupled to hydraulic simulators are powerful tools in the operation of water supply systems, leading to significant reductions in energy consumption.
It can also be observed from the results presented that the reservoirs of varied level downstream of the pumping play a crucial role in the reduction of energy consumption, whereas during peak values are emptied until the next minimum, thereby reducing the consumption by the pump.
Finally, the new paradigms imposed by the deep need for reduction of energy consumption has led the sanitation industry to rethink their operating routines.

The used material data were published in [1].
Fig. 4 Reduction of stress intensity factors due to residual stresses in dependence on the crack length for different particle shapes (VFF = 25%, c/b = 0.4).
Fig. 4 shows reduction of stress intensity factors due to acting residual stresses in both studied states (with and without consideration of residual stresses) and mutual comparison of influence of residual stresses in composite with spherical and elliptical shape of particles.
The results can be summarized to following points: i) the presence of residual stresses significantly reduces values of stress intensity factors (up to 30% in studied case), i.e. significantly influence the crack behavior in particulate composite and the crack propagation rate, ii) shielding effect of residual stresses contributes to the crack deflection close to the particle – crack propagates only in the matrix without direct interaction with particles, iii) the shape of the particles influences the reduction effect of residual stresses.

Thus, the mass of hollow fan blades which are made by pressure welding combined with superplastic forming is considerably lower than that of solid ones that results in more efficient metal use and finished product weight reduction [3].
Experimental data for uniaxial compression of the two materials considered at the welding temperature were used to formulate the constitutive relations for the DEFORM-2D system.
In this particular case, the combination of these relief surfaces is equivalent to creating considerable amount of friction, i.e. alloy movement along the joint surface decreases which leads to a significant reduction of the shear strain component near touching surfaces, and, as a consequence, results in worse quality of a weld as compared to welding samples with flat surfaces (sample I).
Thus, the relief made contributes to the deformation localization in the solid-state weld zone and, as a consequence, to the reduction of the pore relative length which improves the quality of joint.

Finally,
calcination and reduction processes were carried out to obtain MWNT/Cu composites.

However, the decrease in the mean values was within ranges of standard deviations of measured electrical resistance data.

From these data it can be observed that increasing the
Cl/Si ratio from 0.05 to 0.5 the leakage current increases slightly from 2.05×10
-6 A to an average
value of 3.08×10
-6 A.
The further increase of the Cl/Si ratio to 2.0 shows a reduction of the EH6/7 level, whose concentration becomes 7×10 12 cm-3 and the absence of the Z1/Z2 and RD1,2 levels.
The correlation between I-V and DLTS measurements shows that the reduction of the leakage current is related to the reduction of the generation current due to the level EH6/7.

Varying the withdrawal rate changes the primary and secondary dendrite arm
spacing, and affects chemical segregation [3,4], and any reduction in chemical segregation would
result in a significant reduction in heat treatment requirements.
It has also been proved that higher withdrawal rates result in a reduction in the number of solidification porosity [5].
