Logical-mathematical Evaluation Model of Blast-furnace Melting Operation

Methods of Mathematical Modeling for Evaluation of Energy Management of Blast-furnace Plant

M. Szega, W. Stanek Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland L. Blacha Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland The reduction of energy consumption in the blast furnace is still the subject of investigations using mathematical modelling of a blast furnace plant. Theoretical-empirical hybrid models of a blast furnace and its equipment have been presented. This model is built...

Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag

1. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is a by product of the steel industry. Blast furnace slag is defined as “the non-metallic product consisting essentially of calcium silicates and other bases that is developed in a molten condition simultaneously with iron in a blast furnace.” [1] In the production of iron, blast furnaces are loaded with iron o...

Application of Large Scale Database-based Online Modelling on Blast Furnace Operation

A practical method of JIT modelling for a blast furnace process data whose characteristics are very complicated physical phenomena and stiff nonlinear process are studied. The proposed method is composed of severely selecting process data variables by stepwise method and searching the past similar data in quantized topological space constructed by the selected variables. The effectiveness of th...

Parallel Simulation of an Ash Melting Furnace

We determine the distribution of heat uxes of a furnace for burning ash via a simulation of a heat transfer problem. With paralleliza-tion of the problem this task can be done faster. Within the volume of the furnace, heat transfer is dominated by radiation, where heat conduction through the walls is important. Our mathematical model leads to a system of polynomials and the problem is reduced t...
