Florida's Energy Future: Opportunities For Our Economy, Environment And Security - Executive Summary, Florida Solar Energy Center, Philip Fairey
Florida's Energy Future: Opportunities For Our Economy, Environment And Security - Executive Summary, Florida Solar Energy Center, Philip Fairey
FSEC Energy Research Center®
The future of Florida's economy, environment and security is inextricably intertwined with our energy use decisions. Our state has one of the nation's fastest growing populations, promoting rapid expansion of an energy industry that imports its fuel supplies. Florida exports approximately $32 billion per year for these energy fuels. Moreover, the Florida economy depends critically on tourism and agriculture, and the fuels and energy products that maintain them. Our pristine environment is the primary natural resource supporting this unique economic engine and the adverse effects of our rapidly growing energy use now stress it. Our State's economic well-being and security …

This paper presents the results of energy consumption measurements at steel foundries using induction and/or electric arc furnace melting. Statistical methods, infrared thermography, and numerical investigations were used for analysis of heat losses. The influence of different melting practices on energy losses was examined. Industrial experiments in isothermal holding of liquid steel in induction furnaces under different power inputs were used for evaluation of the real values of heat losses by radiation from liquid steel and conductivity through lining. Average values and statistical distributions of energy consumptions for melting steel are presented in this article.
