Mathematical Modeling of Heat Transfer for Steel Continuous Casting Process

mathematical modeling of heat transfer for steel continuous casting process

heat transfer mechanisms and the solidification process are simulated for a continuous casting machine and the geometric shape of the liquid pool is predicted considering different conditions. a heat transfer and solidification model is described for the continuous casting of steel slabs. the model has been established on the basis of the technical conditions of the slab caster in the continuou...

Computational Modeling of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Deformation in the Continuous Casting of Steel

Abstract: Further technology improvements to complex mature processes, such as the continuous casting of steel, require a combination of careful laboratory experiments, plant trials on the commercial process, and advanced computational models. As computer power increases, computational models are able to contribute more to the understanding, design, and control of these complex processes. Fluid...

Physical Modeling of Steel Delivery during Thin Slab Continuous Casting

A full scale physical model of a thin slab caster with a four-hole design submerged entry nozzle (SEN) was constructed. On the basis of the dimensionless Reynolds and Froude similitude criteria, the fluid flow in a full-scale model is similar to that of the actual system and, hence, the data obtained from the water model can be applied to the actual system. In order to determine the optimum ope...

Meshless analysis of casting process considering non-Fourier heat transfer

Casting is considered as a major manufacturing process. Thermal analysis of a solidifying medium is of great importance for appropriate design of casting processes. The conventional governing equation of a solidifying medium is based on the Fourier heat conduction law, which does not account for the phase-lag between the heat flux and the temperature gradient. In this paper, the concept of phas...
