Which outcome resulted from the innovation of the Darby process in 18thC cast iron production?

💡 Explanation

The Darby process used coke rather than charcoal, increasing temperatures via better CO production during combustion; this improved the blast furnace **thermal efficiency**, because the high furnace temperature supported a more complete carbon oxidation, therefore saving costs, rather than other properties that don't determine cost.
