6 FAQs about [Environmental Assessment of Sintering of Ceramic Capacitors]
How to evaluate cost-effectiveness of sintering techniques?
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness, the concept of Net Present Value (NPV) which measures the profitability derived from adopting a particular sintering technique, must be known. This is computed by discounting the cash flow at the specified rate of return.
What are the environmental benefits of sintering?
Using renewable energy sources like hydroelectricity, wind, and solar means the high electricity consumption of sintering processes has a low environmental impact compared to alternative manufacturing processes.
How does sintering affect energy consumption?
The total energy consumption vs sintering is presented in Fig. 6 (b). The energy consumption decreases from 6.61 MJ to 3.34 MJ (49% decrease in energy consumption) by applying 120 V/cm. The major share of energy is consumed by the furnace and a negligible amount by the applied field.
How is thermal energy distributed in X7R multilayer ceramic capacitors?
