The experiments, generally speaking, investigated the maximization of thermal efficiency for phosphate smelting furnaces. The primary experimental finding indicates that commercial phosphate blast furnaces for fertilizer manufacture should reach a temperature of at least 2300 degrees Fahrenheit in the smelting process. The work includes four black-and-white photographs of the research team and blast furnace testing stations.
