Furnaces operate in aggressive environments, where several components—molten metals, furnace linings, atmospheric gases, and products from combustion of fuels—coexist at extremely high temperatures. Furnaces as rotary mixers are the bed rock or heart foundry operations . As a synequano to casting or foundry processes, there should be need to characterize the operating and geometric parameters of a rotary furnace for improved thermal efficiency and performance through even distribution of heat flux. This work focuses on hot gases back pressure increase and flow velocity reduction with regard to geometric or shape orientation are investigated in a bid to optimized and improve decrease in resident time of scraps in the furnace, in order to reduce cost and energy lost implications. An exit cone length to inlet cone length of 0.65 to 0.58 ratios is established for known cylinder diameter ,and the two cones external diameters which must be equal .
