A mathematical heat transfer model for the prediction of transient heating of the slab in a direct-fired walking beam type reheating furnace has been developed by considering the nongray thermal radiation with given furnace environments. The furnace is modeled as radiating nongray medium with carbon dioxide and water with five-zoned gas temperature and the furnace wall is considered as a consta...

Airborne particulate matter in the silicon carbide (SiC) industry is a known health hazard. The aims of this study were to elucidate whether the particulate matter generated inside the Acheson furnace during active operation is representative of the overall particulate matter in the furnace hall, and whether the Acheson furnaces are the main sources of ultrafine particles (UFP) in primary SiC p...

In this work, the effects of scale on thermal behavior of the slab in a walking-beam type reheating furnace is studied by considering scale formation and growth in a furnace environment. Also, mathematical heat transfer model to predict the thermal radiation in a complex shaped reheating furnace with slab and skid buttons is developed with combined nongray WSGGM and blocked-off solution procedu...

hdpe monofilaments were obtained using different extruders and drawn by post-extruder equipments. after solidification, drawn and undrawn monofilaments (draw ratio 7:1) were irradiated with 10 mev electron beams in air at room temperature at 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 kgy dose ranges to induce a network structure. hdpe crosslinking was studied on the basis of gel content measurements. the fibers w...

introduction: nowadays new radiochromic films have an essential role in radiotherapy dosimetry. properties such as high sensitivity, good reproducibility, high spatial resolution, easy readout and portability have made them attractive for dosimetry, especially in high-dose-gradient regions. material and methods: in this study, electron-beam dose distributions in homogenous and heterogeneous pha...
