Estimate the energy required to melt a half ton of Brass in a single phase induction furnace. If the melt is to be carried out in 1/2 hour, what will be the average input to the furnace? Assume- Specific heat of brass is 0.095 Kcal/Kg, Latent heat of fusion of brass is 30 Kcal/Kg. Melting point is 920°C and furnace efficiency is 60%. The temperature of the cold charge may be taken as 20°C.

In the mid-20th century, the availability and the growth in power of digital computers led to the increase in the mathematical model in the field of engineering and science. The analysis of these detailed models needs to be increased.
