Demonstration of oxy-coal combustion is being planned for the old Youngdong unit 1 boiler in South Korea. The boiler is to be retrofitted to an opposed-wall-firing type with 100 MWe capacity for demonstration of oxy-fuel combustion while maintaining the original furnace shape of downshot firing. It is to be operated under oxy-coal combustion mode during demonstration periods while continuing co...

This paper presents a practical application of fuzzy logic to the temperature control of glass melting furnace for television picture tube. Because of the complexity and nonlinearity, temperature control of glass melting furnace is still delegated to human operators. Though the overall characteristics of glass melting furnace are complex and nonlinear, one part of the furnace characteristics ca...

Introduction Fast, efficient batch melting using the modern induction furnace can improve operating flexibility and production yield, as well as reduce the cost of environmental protection. The compelling advantages of induction batch melting have encouraged foundries to change the way they handle their melting operations. Among the chief advantages is cost. The operational cost of a typical in...

A coupled reactor/furnace simulation has been conducted for a 100 kt/a SL-II naphtha cracking furnace containing both long-flame and radiation burners. The computational fluid dynamics approach was used to simulate the flow, combustion and radiative heat transfer in the furnace. The software packages COILSIM1D and SimCO were used to account for the cracking process in the reactor coils. The sim...

The production of fused magnesia is a process in which raw materials are melted and recrystallized the electric-fused furnace (EFMF). Temperature key factor that affects production, but it difficult to be observed monitored due high internal temperature. Thus, working current standard for workers judge whether normal. In order master heat transfer characteristics accurately control processes, t...

In this study, a 3D combustion chamber was simulated using FLUENT 6.32. Aims to obtain accurate information about the profile of the combustion in the furnace and also check the effect of oxygen enrichment on the combustion process. Oxygen enrichment is an effective way to reduce combustion pollutant. The flow rate of air to fuel ratio is varied as 1.3, 3.2 and 5.1 and the oxygen enriched flow ...

Most of the iron in the world is produced using a blast furnace process, which has iron ore (iron oxides) and coke as its raw materials. When pellets are used in a blast furnace, the iron burden material is charged in the form of pellets and fine, iron-rich by-products are charged typically in the form of cold-bonded briquettes at the top of the blast furnace. Coke is the primary fuel and reduc...
