			*Important Terminology: "Cohesive Zone" is where the mixture of oxides and carbon source begin to soften and mix, "Dead Man" is an accumulation of near-pure coke below the Cohesive Zone and above the Molten Slag+Metal, related is the "Raceway" hot zone caused by tuyres around the "dead man". Tracking the location+morphology of these is key to Optimal Blast Furnace Design+Operation
