Abstract
This program simulates the temperature evolution and the heat transfer through the wall structure of a steelmaking ladle during a ladle cycle at a steelmaking plant. In practice, hot steel is tapped into an empty ladle at the converter. The ladle is transferred to a casting machine where the steel is gradually drained through the casting mould. After that, the ladle is returned for reuse to the converter. Thus, the ladle cycle consists of a succession of time intervals where the ladle alternately remains empty and is filled with liquid steel. In this program, the filling and emptying periods with a partially filled ladle are ignored and the ladle is assumed either completely full or completely empty. As a starting points the temperature profile at time instant t = 0 is required. The numerical solution of the differential equations governing the heat transfer phenomena is based on Euler`s method. The shape of the ladle is described as a hollow vertical cylinder. The conicity of the ladle wall is neglected. The ladle wall is assumed to be composed of three separate material layers - inside coatings insulator bricks and steel jacket. The layers are numbered according to Table 1. The elect
