The solution to the energy problem hanging over humanity and associated with a shortage of fuel is possible through the use of alternative heat sources. One of them is the waste of woodworking industries, agriculture. It is possible to pack wood shavings, wood chips and sawdust of various species, seed husks, buckwheat, rice, straw, stems and leaves of sunflower, corn into fuel briquettes. This fuel is used for stoves, fireplaces and heating boilers designed for solid fuels.
Features of briquettes
Depending on the equipment of which company was used for the production of briquettes, the products have a distinctive shape and a common name - "nielsen", "nestro". Their quality directly depends on the quality of the equipment. An expensive press creates high pressure, under which the raw material is compacted to the limit and the products do not break, they can be made in large sizes - like neat round logs. And vice versa, from under a cheap press that creates low pressure, low-quality loose products come out, which quickly turn into fragments andcrumbs. Outwardly, such briquettes are small - short and thin, they are made in such a shape so that they do not fall apart under their own weight.
Pini-kei - multifaceted fuel briquettes in cross section with a hollow hole inside. Their surface is covered with a dark crust. The parameters of these top quality euro firewood are 5x20 cm or 6x25 cm. They are produced by extruder presses: high pressure and temperature are created, which burns the surface of the briquettes, giving them moisture resistance and high strength. The "pini" surface is tripled with a hollow hole. Due to this, they burn very beautifully. They are acquired by those who are fascinated and enjoy the fire of the fireplace. These fuel briquettes are more expensive than others.
Ruff-bricks of rectangular shape with dimensions of 6, 5x9, 5x15 cm are made from pre-crushed sawdust or scraps, wood chips. The raw materials do not mix binders. The pressure created by the hydraulic press reliably compacts the wood particles so that the fuel briquettes look solid. But "roofs" can be made from wood dust - furniture production waste when sanding plywood. Such waste contains formaldehyde resins, which, when burned, release dioxin, a dangerous toxic substance. Appearance: plywood dust roof briquettes are white, dense, with a fine grained structure.
Beautiful problem solving
Production of fuel briquettes solves several problems. The first is energythe second is ecological: freeing the planet from waste, turning garbage into life-giving heat. There is another plus to this. For some entrepreneurs, the production of fuel briquettes from sawdust and other waste energy-containing waste is becoming a profitable business. In addition, heating a stove or fireplace with eurowood is a pleasure: they are light, light up instantly, burn out almost to the ground with a bright fire, there is no soot and soot from them.

Heat resistance and heat resistance are important characteristics of steels
Ordinary structural steels, when heated, abruptly change their mechanical and physical properties, begin to actively oxidize and form scale, which is completely unacceptable and creates a threat of failure of the entire assembly, and possibly a serious accident. To work at elevated temperatures, materials engineers, with the help of metallurgists, created a number of special steels and alloys. This article gives a brief description of them

Types of heat transfer: heat transfer coefficient
Because the heat of different substances may differ, there is a process of transferring heat from a hotter substance to a substance with less heat. This process is called heat transfer. We will consider the main types of heat transfer and the mechanisms of their action in this article
