Numerical modeling of the thermal performance of regenerative slab reheat furnaces

Journal Article Zhang, C ; Ishii, T ; Sugiyama, S - Numerical Heat Transfer. Part A, Applications

Fuel consumption in reheat furnaces represents a significant percentage of the total processing cost. The competitiveness of the steel industry demands more efficient use of available fuel resources. Thus it has become more important to have enhanced furnace design tools. Here, numerical simulations of reactive turbulent flows and heat transfer in regenerative slab reheat furnaces have been carried out. A moment closure method with the assumed {beta} probability density function for the mixture fraction is used to model the turbulent nonpremixed combustion process in the furnaces. The combustion model is based on the assumption of instantaneous full chemical equilibrium. Themore »« less

Refractory fiber modules saves fuel in a walking beam billet heating furnace

Journal Article Braun, R C ; Parker, W H - Ind. Heat. (Pittsburgh); (United States)

The new furnace is expected to meet certain criteria: low heat loss through the refractories, a low heat storage refractory lining, a walking beam method of transporting the stock through the furnace, a low operating labor requirement, increased throughput, low fuel consumption, and ease of maintenance.
Temperature control of a continuous, push type, five zone, slab reheating furnace, for minimum fuel usage

Thesis/Dissertation Purdy, D J

The problem under investigation is the temperature control of a continuous, push type, slab reheat furnace for minimum fuel consumption. An existing computer simulation of the reheat furnace was tested and enhanced for the purpose of developing an on-line temperature control scheme. The results obtained include: an on-line temperature control scheme using off-line model generated data; the development of a set of off-line algorithms for determining the maximum furnace push rate; the minimum fuel usage at steady state for a specified existing average slab temperature profile; and the fuel flow distributions and push rate adjustments required during transition from onemore »« less
Pyrometer method for measuring slab temperature in a reheat furnace

Patent Rudzki, E M ; Jackson, R W ; Martocci, A P

A method and apparatus to measure the temperature of a slab in a reheat furnace with increased accuracy using either a single or dual pyrometer system through use of a multiplicity of temperature correction functions involving temperatures of slab and wall, distance between a pyrometer and the slab at which it is aimed, a ratio of air and fuel supplying the furnace heat and radiation interferences. The functions are chosen by a micro-processor in the system dependent on temperature differentials, emissivity setting of the pyrometer, target distance between pyrometer and slab, and air and fuel flow rates existing and fluctuatingmore » in the system.« less
