In this paper the influence of the moisture content on the flow characteristics of blast furnace dust is investigated. The flowability of granular material is essential for the design and operation of dust separators, transport equipment and storage silos. Two blast furnace dust samples from different blast furnaces were investigated. The moisture content was adapted for measurement with the sh...

a mathematical model of a continuous reheating furnace has been developed to identify the design and operating parameters that significantly affect furnace performance. in this study, the furnace is modeled 3 dimensionally and themonte carlomethod is used to find the overall absorption factor. the overall absorption factor is then used to calculate the energy balance for furnace walls, the gas,...

One of the major problems in electric arc furnace is high temperature which results thermal stresses and cracks within material surrounding walls. An effective cooling technique needed to avoid such problems. For this purpose, a novel roof configuration an used provide efficient reduce material. The consists two solid materials, namely, copper alumina brick. achieved by water circulation roof. ...

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...

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...

Keywords: RAD-NETT Radiation heat transfer Neural network Fire resistance test furnace a b s t r a c t Using RAD-NETT, a neural network correlation of the non-gray radiative absorption properties of combustion gases (CO 2 and H 2 O) and soot, the emissivity and hemispherical absorptivity of a combustion mixture to a boundary in a rectangular enclosure is determined. Results show that the both t...

Scale up of microwave sintering for high temperature stable non-oxide ceramics, such as SiC, Si3N4, and dispersion ceramics, like SiC-MoSi2 is still difficult, mainly because of lack of an affordable equipment. For air atmosphere sintering different furnaces were developed, like e.g., gas-microwave hybrid heated tunnel kilns [1] or microwave sintering using an adiabatic casket in tunnel kilns [...
