An overall simulation package which was developed for the coking process in the coke oven battery is described. The package is based on the integration of the coking thermal model developed by Merrick and a new flue combustion model developed by the author. The coking thermal model utilizes the relationship between the thermal characteristics of the coal and its composition to simulate that coal's thermal behavior during the coking process. The composition of the coal at different coking stages is obtained by calculating the rates of gas evolved from the coal. The driving force for this model, the energy transferred, is generated from the flue combustion model.
