Implementation of Models for reheating processes in industrial furnaces

چکیده
Components were developed for the modeling of industrial furnaces in the iron and steel industry like pusher-type and walking beam furnaces. A cell model on the basis of the dynamic pipe model of the Modelica Fluid Library was designed. The cell model computes the heat transfer between furnace walls, flue gas and the processed steel goods. The radiative heat transfer is modeled by a 1-dimensional method based on Hottel’s net radiation method. Furthermore, models for furnace walls, slabs, hearth and the transport of the slabs were designed. The models are suitable for analyzing operation modes and designing control concepts

Fuel Savings for Slab Reheating Furnaces through Oxyfuel Combustion
With high fuel prices, fuel-savings technologies can provide significant economic benefits to steel mills. Reheating furnaces in integrated and mini-mills consume approximately half of the natural gas used to produce hot-rolled products. Recently, Praxair’s Dilute Oxygen Combustion technology (previously demonstrated for productivity improvements on mini-mill billet reheating furnaces) was exte...

In steel industry, without consideration of blast furnaces, reheating furnaces are classified the biggest energy consumers. The research of efficient control algorithms permitting less energy consumption has become an important issue for those furnaces. In this paper, a nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (MPC) is designed for a steel slab walking-beam reheating furnace. A numerical nonlinear...
متن کاملA mathematical model of a slab reheating furnace with radiative heat transfer and non-participating gaseous media
Amathematical model of the reheating process of steel slabs in industrial fuel-fired furnaces is developed. The transient temperature field inside the slabs is computed by means of the Galerkin method. Radiative heat transfer inside the furnace constitutes boundary conditions that couple the dynamic subsystems of the slabs. Constraining the heat fluxes to piecewise linear, discontinuous signals...
متن کاملNumerical Model of Steel Slab Reheating in Pusher Furnaces
The difficulty in measuring load temperatures inside reheating gas furnaces may be circumvented by appropriate use of on-line numerical models. In this article we describe a model of pusher furnaces, used to reheat steel slabs. The model uses thermocouple measurements at fixed positions inside the furnace to calculate the temperature of the combustion products, and takes into account radiative ...
متن کاملFAILURE MECHANISMS OF REFRACTORY LININGS FOR NONFERROUS FLASH SMELTING FURNACES
Although the flash smelting technologies use different furnace designs, the refractory linings are exposed to very similar aggressive environments and, as a result, the corrosion analysis results on one type of furnace could be generally applied to other furnaces of similar high temperature processes. Particularities regarding the different chemistries of the pyrometallurgical process and opera...
