The advent of coke dry quenching (CDQ) in coke-making benefited coke plants not only in reducing coke moisture but also in extracting a part of the sensible energy within the hot incandescent coke with a reduction in environmental pollution. In addition to these direct benefits, other advantages include (1) improved coke quality, (2) enablement of higher coke production without compromising quality, (3) online coal-cake bulk density measurement, and (4) improved blast furnace performance. The present study at Tata Steel, Jamshedpur, concentrates on the assessment of these additional benefits when CDQ units were operated at full capacity. Besides, the article also focuses on reviewing the major obstacles faced during CDQ operation, such as clinker formation and coke flotation issues.

Abstract-With the increase in traffic road density, several causalities occur due to delay in taking a patient to the hospital in an ambulance. In this paper, we have developed an algorithm to find the shortest path to reach the required destination. As required the software will identify the present location of the vehicle and ask the user for the destination. Then it will show all the available paths, highlighting the shortest one or in several cases the most optimum one. Further we made the traffic signals automated for special vehicles like an ambulance or a fire-engine such that the signals will go green for the ambulance as it comes in the vicinity of the traffic signal, thus providing them with a clear path to reach its destination. The original signal is restored as soon as the ambulance goes undetected by the Bluetooth scanner of the traffic signal.
