Mathematical Modeling of Raw Materials and Energy Needs of the Iron and Steel Industry in the U.S.A. Phase I. A Model of the Raw Materials Requirements of the U.S. Steel Industry.

摘要

Because of the importance of the steel industry in the economy, a program of study was undertaken to develop a computer model by which it would be possible to predict the need of the industry for raw materials and energy in the next several decades. This report gives the results obtained in a preliminary 6-month program.
