✦ Synopsis

Steel making is an energy intensive industry. This work presents and identifies heat losses of the main components of this industry in Jordan. The heat losses are considerable and range from 17 to 36% of the total energy input. Some heat losses are considered to be recoverable, especially in the furnace and the crucible and mould. Specific energy consumption was found to be 6)0 MJ per ton of steel for the Jordanian steel industry.
