Metal furnaces are selected based on criteria like the metal's melting point, required quantity and purity, pouring type, maximum temperature, and cost factors. Common furnace types include crucible, pot, rotary, and electric furnaces.
The crucible furnace uses a crucible container and can be coke, gas, or oil fired. The pot furnace contains molten metal in a pot to avoid smoke impurities. The rotary furnace rotates horizontally for homogeneous melting. Electric furnaces like direct arc, indirect arc, and induction furnaces provide high purity but at a higher cost.
The cupola furnace is a cylindrical furnace that produces molten cast iron. It operates

Design and Fabrication of Crucible Furnaces by using Black Smithy SetupDr. Amarjeet Singh
The main aim was, to design Pit Furnace from the
setup of black smithy. As the Smithy setup was not in use so it
is converted into Pit Furnace setup. The purpose of using Pit
Furnace is to melt nonferrous material. The Nonferrous
materials such as Aluminum, Aluminum alloy, Copper, Brass,
etc. The Aluminum has less melting point (680ᵒ C, 1218ᵒF) and
cheaper than other. The thermal efficiency of furnace is
13.72% which is obtained by melting 2 kg of Aluminum for 75
minutes. Normally thermal of pit furnace is between 4-19%.
The blower is used to supply the air into the furnace chamber
to burn the coal. For melting the Aluminum, Crucible should
sustain higher temperature so Graphite Crucible is used. This
Crucible has thinner wall and have more refractory
properties.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.
