Popis: The rising demand for high quality castings necessitates that vast amount of manufacturing knowledge be incorporated in manufacturing system like computer aided design and manufacturing. Rotary furnace fabrication involves several critical parameters like, capacity of furnace, flame length, length of furnace due to the available installation space and determination of type and thickness of materials needed. A complex relationship exists between these fabrication parameters and hence there is a need to develop models which can capture this complex interrelationship and enable fast computation. In this project a computer model is designed and run, taking a 5kg rotary furnace calculated parameters as prototype to facilitate the production of a rotary furnace, using Microsoft visual basic language embedded with the necessary and required design and analysis formulae needed to fabricate different sizes of rotary furnaces.
