چکیده
The solution algorithm used in CarbTool is based on the finite difference method (FDM), and the code is developed using Microsoft Visual C++ in Window OS. The tool has been built on the concept of the carbon flux at the surface between the gas and steel is to be specified by the user. The outputs of CarbTool are the carbon concentration distribution profile inside the steel part and the surface carbon concentration profile as a function of time.

Pyrolysis of propane under vacuum carburizing conditions: An experimental and modeling study
Propane has been pyrolyzed in a flow reactor system at different temperatures ranging from 640 C to 1010 C and at 8 mbar of partial pressure which are typical vacuum carburizing conditions for steel. Nitrogen was used as a carrier gas. The products of pyrolysis were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography. The reactor was numerically simulated by 1D and 2D flow models coupled to a detailed...

متن کاملModeling of acetylene pyrolysis under steel vacuum carburizing conditions in a tubular flow reactor.
In the present work, the pyrolysis of acetylene was studied under steel vacuum carburizing conditions in a tubular flow reactor. The pyrolysis temperature ranged from 650 degrees C to 1050 degrees C. The partial pressure of acetylene in the feed mixture was 10 and 20 mbar, respectively, while the rest of the mixture consisted of nitrogen. The total pressure of the mixture was 1.6 bar. A kinetic...
متن کاملCarbonitriding – fundamentals, modeling and process optimization
The carbonitriding process, which involves the diffusion of both carbon and nitrogen into the base steel, can be carried out in a salt bath or in a furnace gas atmosphere. It is a modified carburizing process but is mostly done at a lower temperature and for shorter time than carburizing. This process is one of the widely used heat treatments for surface hardening. Nonetheless, there are challe...
