Slag Furnaces - Some Issues for Optimal Design and Operation
نویسنده
چکیده
'Rules-of-thumb', some of which were originally intended for arc furnaces, play a significant role in the design process for slag containing furnaces. Lack of fundamental understanding of the physics driving the performance of these furnaces sometimes results in either overly conservative, or poorly performing designs. This paper will explore some key technical issues related to the correct design and optimal operation of slag furnaces. Reference will be made to both traditional and non-traditional designs to emphasise the potential room for continued development.

Introduction: During the past 30 years, the melting methods and associated molten metal-handling systems used by the U.S. foundry industry have changed significantly. During the same period, while ductile iron production has experienced continued growth, the quality of metallic scrap and other ironunit feed stocks has steadily deteriorated. The result: slag related melting problems have become ...

متن کاملHeat Transfer Calculation in the Firebox of the Ethylene Plant Furnaces (RESEARCH NOTE).
The thermal cracking of hydrocarbons for olefin production is carried out in long tubular reactors inserted in a furnace, in this process the heat flux along the reactor wall determines the feedstock conversion, the olefin selectivity's and rate of coke deposition. A detailed firebox simulation model is therefore a powerful tool in the design and operation of pyrolysis furnaces and reactors to ...
متن کاملApplication of Combustion Hot Spot Analysis to Process Furnace with Arbor Coils
Hot spots are among the most serious operational issues in furnaces as they may result in the destruction of tubes. Hence, it is essential to locate such hot spots precisely on the tube surfaces inside the industrial furnaces in order to secure a safe design and operation. In the current study, we have extended the model proposed by Talmor in order to precisely locate the combustion hot spots o...
