Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant

Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant rather than just read about it. In short: The Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant (Russian: Полевской медеплавильный завод, romanized: Polevskoj medeplavilnyj zavod), also known as Polevaya or Poleva, was one of the major metallurgical facilities located in Polevskoy, in Sverdlovsk Oblast of Russia. History It was established by the decree of Peter the Great to process the local copper deposits.

Key takeaways

Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.

Reference excerpt

The Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant (Russian: Полевской медеплавильный завод, romanized: Polevskoj medeplavilnyj zavod), also known as Polevaya or Poleva, was one of the major metallurgical facilities located in Polevskoy, in Sverdlovsk Oblast of Russia.

History It was established by the decree of Peter the Great to process the local copper deposits. The Polevskoy Plant was named after the local river Polevaya. The plant became the basis for the settlement which later grew into the town of Polevskoy. The place for a new plant was chosen by Vasily Tatishchev. Georg Wilhelm de Gennin was in charge of the construction. The Plant became active in 1724. The copper was branded with the symbol of the Roman goddess Venus. The Venus symbol (♀), which represents copper as a chemical element, is now displayed in the Polevskoy town coat of arms. In 1757 the Polevskoy Plant was purchased by the Ural merchant Alexei Turchaninov along with the Seversky Pipe Plant. Along with the Seversky and Sysertsky Plants, the Polevskoy Plant represented the Sysert Mining District. It was extremely profitable. Turchaninov's descendants managed the plant til 1912. For a long time the main ore supplier for the plant was the Gumyoshevsky mine, called "The Copper Mountain" by the local populace. However in the 19th century the Gumyoshevsky mine was exhausted. After it was shut down in 1870, the Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant was reorganized to the iron plant. In this capacity the plant stayed active until 1923, but then shut down due to the lack of prospects.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant

In research: Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1724 establishments in the Russian Empire, 1923 disestablishments in Russia, Buildings and structures in Sverdlovsk Oblast, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Polevskoy Copper Smelting Plant outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
