In past years, the exploitation of mineral resource in our country was stressed on capacity and the solid waste recycle and innocent treatment was ignored. Much valuable metal is associated and coexist with waste, it is in difficult position for present technology to recycle valuable composition in that waste, which leads to valuable component loss and environment pollution. Therefore, the development and utilization of copper refining slag is in significance. In this paper, the advantages and difficulties to process refining slag by flotation method are discussed based on property analysis of copper refining slag. The refining slag is featured by high specific gravity, high concentration, and its particles distributing at both ends of small and large size. A flotation cell with special structure of barrier grid plate and multi-loop channel is developed for refining slag processing, which provides a proper way to solve the sediment problem during refining slag flotation. The application of CLF-40(effective volume,40m3) flotation cell for processing slag mixture from flash furnace and converter is expounded, the production index shows that the Cu grade is up to 27.18% at recovery of 83.93% when slurry concentrate being 70%

On the basis of the formulated mathematical model for the study of electromagnetic processes in a two-phase (two-inductor) induction channel furnace, electrical losses in the metal frameworks of the furnace were calculated for vari-ous options for their sectioning. The influence of the phase angle between the voltages feeding the inductors of the fur-nace on the distribution of specific and integral losses in the frames is determined. Practical recommendations for re-ducing these losses in order to increase the efficiency of melting furnaces are presented. Ref. 5, fig. 5.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the influence of tunneling channel height change on its aerodynamic characteristics by modeling the velocity and pressure distribution of air and furnace gases. Three variants of the tunnel geometry were considered: basic, with reduced height in the firing zone and with reduced height along the entire length of the furnace. The simulation results in the dependence of the static pressure along the length of the furnace and the velocity of the furnace gas moving along its height. The analysis of the change in the velocity of the furnace gases in the tunnel has made it possible to say that the most effective in terms of uniformity of velocity distribution is the variant with the reduction of the height of the arch along the entire length of the furnace.Keywords: tunnel kiln, tunnel kiln channel, change of kiln geometry, velocity distribution modeling, static pressure distribution.

In modern blast furnace production, even a short-term disruption of the technological process is associated with large productivity losses. In the practice of conducting blast furnace melting, there are often significant deviations from the optimal mode. They can lead not only to disruptions of the blast furnace, but also to accidents. In the operation of a blast furnace, typical deviations from the normal distribution of gas flow and charge materials include: peripheral, axial, channel passages; skewing of the backfill level; varying degrees and types of charge suspension. As a result, there are a cooling or excessive overheating of the furnace and violation of the melting operation. A serious consequence of the prolonged peripheral movement of gases is not only intensive wear of the lining, poor use of thermal and chemical energy of gases, but also stable cluttering of the hearth with formation of a deadman. Deadman is an ore-coke sinter formed in the tuyere zone of a blast furnace, as a result of cooling of its center. The paper describes the study and analysis of violations of blast furnace operation, analysis of the deadman causes and assessment of the accident rate of blast furnace tuyeres. Violation of gas distribution and hearth cluttering lead to formation of a deadman, which provokes mass burning of tuyeres and blast furnace refrigerators. The developed methodological foundations (mathematical model) allow us to estimate the maximum temperature of the tuyere zone and the resulting heat flow to the tuyere toe in presence of a deadman. It is shown that in large-volume blast furnaces, bubble outflow of the gas-coal flow prevails, contributing to growth of a deadman in the blast furnace.

Full textAbstract:
Sinter sensible heat recovery via a vertical cooling furnace is a new type of waste heat recovery process proposed based on coke dry quenching. However, the segregation of the burden in a vertical cooling furnace is serious, resulting in a large amount of cooling gas escaping from the short-circuit channel of the vertical cooling furnace, which seriously affects the uniform gas–solid heat transfer in the furnace. To improve the burden distribution and gas flow in such a furnace, this paper proposes a Venturi-type vertical cooling furnace. Based on the single silo of a vertical cooling furnace in Meishan Steel, a slot model was established, and the improvement effect of the Venturi furnace structure on the burden distribution and gas flow was studied using the DEM–CFD coupling method. The results show that compared with the existing furnace type, the inclined wall of the Venturi furnace changed the direction of the high Dnv (average diameter) channel from vertical to inclined-vertical and reduced the Dnv from >0.033 m to 0.028~0.03 m in the vertical part of the variable-diameter section, thus reducing the influence area of the high Dnv channel. The minimum and average values of the voidage in the contraction part of the variable-diameter section increased from 0.28 and 0.315 to 0.31 and 0.33, respectively, which caused the voidage distribution to change from U-shaped to W-shaped along the longitudinal direction while simultaneously reducing the longitudinal fluctuation range of the voidage from 0.28~0.39 to 0.298~0.37. The gas flow direction changed from vertical-upward to vertical-inclined-upward, which increased the gas–solid contact. The gas velocity increased significantly. In the vertical section, the average gas velocity was 2.34 m/s, which was 30.73% higher than the velocity of 1.79 m/s of the existing furnace type. In the variable-diameter section, the average gas velocity was 3.52 m/s, which was 72.55% higher than the velocity of 2.04 m/s of the existing furnace type. The high-speed gas channel basically only existed in the sidewall area and the center area of the vertical section, and the length was reduced from 3.11 m to 2.52 m, which reduced the influence area. In the variable-diameter section, the high-speed gas channel disappeared, and the uniformity of the gas velocity distribution was greatly improved. The gas pressure drop increased from 4140 Pa to 6410 Pa, with an increase of 54.83%. Therefore, when designing the Venturi furnace type, it was necessary to take into consideration the improvement in the gas velocity distribution and the increase in the pressure drop. The research results of this paper can provide guidance for the structure optimization of the sinter vertical cooling furnace.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the theory of thermal circuits, a computer model of an induction channel furnace has been developed, which is used to obtain industrial copper wire rods in the mode of continuous casting. The model allows calculating the established electrothermal processes considering the flows of cold and molten metal in its core. In the developed thermal model, it is proposed to consider the convection fluxes of heat in the metal using controlled current sources. The temperature distribution in the active zone of the channel furnace is calculated, and the influence of the mass flow of metal at the inlet and outlet of the furnace on the non-uniformity of temperature distribution in the active zone is shown. The obtained results allow determining the required electric power of the furnace at different values of the flow rate of the metal that moves continuously through its core while heating to a given temperature. The developed model is relatively easy to implement, using the Matlab/Simulink package, and allows online to estimate the melt temperature in different zones depending on the electric power consumed by the furnace and the metal consumption at the outlet of the furnace, as well as to determine rational modes of its operation.

Full textAbstract:
A three-dimensional mathematical model is developed to describe the influence of AGD beams on gas distribution in COREX-3000 shaft furnace. The calculated result shows that with AGD beams installed, the pressure drop in furnace is decreased while the volume of low velocity zone at bottom of furnace is enlarged. AGD channels can lead reduction gas into shaft center, and increase the gas velocity at slots level, but it have little effect on gas distribution at upper part of the furnace. AGD beams are also good at restraining down pipe gas, and the volume fraction of down pipe gas declines from 9.89 % to 6.41 %, decreases about 35.2%. 2#COREX furnace with AGD beams is better at achieving uniform gas distribution.

Full textAbstract:
This article deals with a strategy of advanced extreme-optimal high-output energy-saving uniform exploratory control for the heating of concast slabs under the broad hot-rolling mill working modes with unsteady outputs to achieve guaranteed metal heating. The implemented advanced extreme-optimal exploratory control development strategy for production processes is analyzed using the specific example of efficient guaranteed optimum control of the heating parameters in through-feed furnaces. We review the best variational and exploratory extreme control methods for three interrelated heating processes: the distribution of fuel along the length of the furnace body and over time; the optimal control of fuel-burning to obtain the best calorific effect possible; the optimum heat-saving control for combustion product ejection through the reduced heat losses due to suction and knocking out. The operability and feasibility of the suggested extreme-optimal control are achieved using the simplified dynamic heat exchange model along the “fuel consumption” - “billet center temperature” channel with the surface temperature of the heated billets used as the main monitoring and control parameter. We analyzed the efficient method of automated autonomous positive control for the real thermal condition of each of the billets before they are ejected from the furnace to prevent the possibility of feeding underheated billets to the rolling mill, as well as emergencies in the mill. This system provides a forecast for the expected breakdown temperature for each of the billets before they are ejected from the furnace under the energy-saving operational mode. We present the results of the practical implementation of the extreme-optimal control for metal heating at four Russian high-output rolling mills that have a significant economic effect with minimum costs of software (digital) implementation of the suggested control concept.

Several sites containing relatively high quantities of waste products from the bloomery iron production collected during archaeological field surveys in the Podravina region as part of the TransFER project were subsequently investigated by magnetic prospecting and topsoil apparent magnetic susceptibility mapping. The magnetic method proved to be very effective in identifying various archaeological remains of iron production activity in situ due to the high magnetic susceptibility of materials present in iron production workshops, which was confirmed in relation to the results of archaeological excavations at Sušine near Virje as well as Velike Hlebine and Dedanovice near the Hlebine sites. Reasons for the higher magnetic susceptibility include, in addition to the strongly magnetic minerals in iron production waste, fragments of fired clay from furnace construction and features such as shallow pits with burnt bottoms, as well as any other materials that have been exposed to high temperatures (burnt house plaster, etc.). The sites with remains of bloomery iron production were therefore reliably identified on the basis of their magnetic properties and the results were evaluated in relation to the excavated features. This study has also demonstrated that the sites with iron production activity present can also be reliably identified on the basis of changes in the apparent magnetic susceptibility of the topsoil to a depth of only 5 cm, after partial destruction of the archaeological layers by deep ploughing. These anomalies generally have a wider spatial distribution than those detected by magnetometers, due to a wide dispersion of material by ploughing mechanisms. With the aim of identifying layers with major enrichments of bog iron ore, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements were carried out at the site Novigrad Podravski–Milakov Berek, where pieces of bog iron ore appeared on the surface. Based on these results, we have not been able to reliably identify ore deposits, but it has been shown that it is possible to identify layers of relatively low resistivity on ERT profiles that have increased iron mineral content, as confirmed by X-ray analysis of core samples from shallow drillings at several other locations in the Podravina region.

Full textAbstract:
This parametric study shows that thermal radiation from particles, fly ash and char, can be highly relevant for estimating the radiative heat flux to surfaces in grate fired furnaces, especially to the hot bed. The large effects of particle radiative heat transfer come from cases with municipal solid waste (MSW) as fuel whereas biomass cases have moderate effect on the overall radiative heat transfer. The parameters investigated in the study were the fuel parameters, representing a variety of particle loads and size distributions, emissivities of walls and bed, and the size of furnace. The investigations were conducted in a 3-D rectangular environment with a fixed temperature field, and homogeneous distribution of gases and particles. The choice of boundary emissivity was found to be much more or equally important as the particle radiation effects, dependent if biomass or MSW, respectively, was used as the fuel. The effect of particle radiation increased with increasing furnace size, mostly evident in the change of the radiative source term and the heat flux to the bed. Compared to previous studies of particle radiation in grate fired combustion, this study used realistic particle mass size distributions for fly ash. Estimates of char mass size distributions inside the furnace were conducted and used.

Abstract The performance of various systems, such as electronic cards, avionics, and propulsion systems, is highly depend on thermal effects and the system’s temperature. As the operational temperatures of these systems undergo changes throughout their life cycles, the characterization of temperature-dependent performances necessitates different tests, including performance tests under controlled temperature conditions. Obtaining desired temperature distribution for smaller components, such as avionics or electronic components can be achieved within several hours or even minutes inside the industrial furnaces. Conversely, temperature conditioning for larger structures, such as propulsion systems, may require several days or even weeks. The process of temperature conditioning, conducted under a constant furnace temperature is a time-consuming operation when it is considered in terms of project workflow. In an effort to decrease the duration of these last long and inefficient constant furnace temperature processes, a time optimization study is proposed which is aiming to obtain varying furnace temperature profile to acquired needed temperature distribution throughout these large structures. Three-dimensional, two-dimensional, and axisymmetric finite element models are established for a comprehensive examination of a large-scale system by considering the nature of the problem. Outcomes from these distinct finite element models leads to the determination that the axisymmetric model is most suited for the ensuing optimization study. The constraints and the objective of the optimization are clearly defined. An iterative procedure is conducted between the optimization tool and heat transfer analysis solver. As a result of the study, required time for the temperature conditioning is decreased by almost 50% by using the obtained varying furnace temperature profiles instead of using constant furnace temperature. It is noteworthy that diverse constraints and objectives may be implemented within the developed model to accommodate case-specific exigencies.

The uniform flow rate is a fundamental requirement in the design of air distributors for the hydrogen reformer furnace. Constraints of flow rate primarily demands on configuration of air distributors. Particularly for the air with different temperature, velocity and pressure, an even distribution of air distributors is especially important. Air distributors containing one inlet and eleven outlets are connected with burners so that uniform flow rate of each outlet is required. Based on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method, temperature, velocity and pressure distribution in the air distributors are simulated. The results show that flow rate is sensitive to the rate of pressure and velocity change but not for temperature change. The maldistribution of each outlet cannot accord with engineering standard. So, it is necessary to take some methods to decrease the maldistribution of each outlet. The dampers exist at each outlet are controlled individually. Hence, the flow rate can be constrained by adjust pressure according to the proportion of maldistribution.

Abstract Heat flux is a space and time variable reflecting the state of a thermal system. The evaluation of heat flux properties in thermal systems gives the possibility of making an assessment of their efficiency, safety and availability. In this respect, it was proved that heat flux is an important design, diagnostic and control parameter for many thermal systems. This paper describes the evaluation of different aspects of heat flux properties including heat flux as a design parameter, heat flux as a diagnostic parameter and heat flux as a control parameter. The heat flux is proved to reflect the changes in thermal equipment during operation. The malfunction of this equipment is closely related to the change of the heat flux distribution within the system. In this respect, it was demonstrated that the failure of boilers and furnace operation could be diagnosed by the change in the heat flux distribution on the respective heat transfer surfaces. The heat flux, as a diagnostic variable for the assessment of the operation of thermal systems, will open a challenging opportunity for the design of on-line knowledge-based systems. This can be used for the assessment of efficiency and safety of thermal systems. A new method for heat flux measurement is introduced with reference to its use in boiler and glass furnaces. It shows the advantages of the new method when applied in high temperature and hostile environments.

In ASME 1997 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1997. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece1997-0834.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract A three-dimensional model of the neck-down stage of an optical fiber draw furnace was formulated to examine the effects of eccentricity on preform temperature and flow in the furnace. Eccentricity is an unavoidable off-manufacturing condition, which is the deviation between the centers of the cylindrical furnace and the glass preform rod. The Navier-Stokes and energy equations describing the momentum and thermal transfers in the draw furnace were solved simultaneously both in the glass and gas domains using the finite element method. Temperature dependent physical properties were considered. Radiation heat transfer was added into the model as surface-to-surface radiation between the glass surface and furnace wall, using a full enclosure analysis. Radiation inside the glass was approximated by using the Rosseland diffusion approximation. The circumferential temperature distribution and viscosity change on the preform surface were determined. They increase with the eccentricity ratio. The eccentricity is the distance between the furnace axis and the preform axis. The gas flow is unsymmetrical due to eccentricity. Most of the temperature gradients and viscosity changes were not large within the furnace due to eccentricity. A balanced temperature field in the furnace is due to the high radiation heat transfer. Since the preform necks down within the furnace and becomes thinner in the lower half, the glass becomes more isothermal due to its high radiation coupled glass conductivity. However, although the resulting temperature difference on the glass preform is small, the gradient is high. This temperature gradient becomes important when the exponential temperature dependence of the glass viscosity is considered. The resulting viscosity difference in the neck-down region will cause the glass to flow faster on one side than on the other side resulting in nonuniform consumption of the glass preform. Thus, the desired symmetric root shape of the glass preform may change.

The low temperature furnace for semiconductor processing is applicable not only to the equipment which needs heat treatment on the silicon wafer but also to the industry field similar to semiconductor manufacturing. The target process in this research is for the low temperature furnace less than 500°C. The investigation on controlling the flat zone at low temperature range has been important with the recent development trend of miniaturized device and new materials. When the temperature in the furnace is changing, the temperature changing rate is slower at the batch type than the single type. The thermal problems therefore occur including the unnecessary heat treatment and the thermal shock of wafer for the sudden heat change. The research target is therefore to obtain the uniform temperature distribution in a whole furnace when manufacturing the low temperature heat treatment equipment. The precise control of the temperature of the reactor is a crucial factor obtaining the vapor deposition uniformity on the wafer surface. In this research, we validate the reliability of numerical analysis by being compared with the experimental results. And the different parameters that affect the internal temperature distribution including the radiant heat transfer are investigated using CFD for designing and manufacturing the furnace. To obtain the uniform temperature distribution of the reactor, the emissivity and reflectivity of pedestals which are installed under the wafer cartridge are also changed and investigated along with the different number of pedestals and distance of pedestals from the bottom of the wafer cartridge. As the results, the most effective design factor is the temperature of each heater to make the wafer temperature uniform. Additionally, the yield rate per one process is increased when the number of wafers is increased because the flat zone is widened.

Abstract The motivation of manufacturers to pursue higher productivity and low costs in the fabrication of optical fibers requires large diameter silica-based preforms drawn into fiber at very high speed. An optimal design of the draw furnace is particularly desirable to meet the need of high-volume production in the optical fiber industry. This paper investigates optical fiber drawing at high draw speeds in a cylindrincal graphite furnace. A conjugate problem involving the glass and the purge gases is considered. The transport in the two regions is coupled through the boundary conditions at the free glass surface. The zonal method is used to model the radiative heat transfer in the glass. The neck-down profile of the preform at steady state is determined by a force balance, using an iterative numerical scheme. Thermally induced defects are also considered. To emphasize the effects of draw furnace geometry, the diameters of the preform and the fiber are kept fixed at 5 cm and 125 μm, respectively. The length and the diameter of the furnace are changed. For the purposes of comparison, a wide domain of draw speeds, ranging from 5 m/s to 20 m/s, is considered, and the form of the temperature distribution at the furnace surface is kept unchanged. The dependence of the preform/fiber characteristics, such as neckdown profile, velocity distribution and lag, temperature distribution and lag, heat transfer coefficent, defect concentration, and draw tension, on the furnace geometry is determined. Based on these numerical results, an optimal design of the draw furnace can be developed.

Full textAbstract:
A blast furnace is a key facility in iron and steel making to convert iron oxides into liquid iron. The furnace campaign life is critical to the economic vitality of an integrated steel mill. The wearing of hearth refractories is widely recognized as the main limitation for a long campaign blast furnace life. Distribution of liquid iron flow and refractory temperatures have a significant influence on hearth wear. It is identified that the use of modern advanced techniques such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provide the most cost effective solution to gauge the condition of the hearth and understand the reason for changes. In this research, a large commercial scale blast furnace hearth has been simulated using a comprehensive CFD model based on a simplified structure of deadman. The liquid iron flow pattern, temperature distribution in the liquid and the refractories, and the wearing profile in the hearth have been analyzed. A limited parametric study has also been performed. The results are promising and will be presented in the paper.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The inverse design of a three-dimensional furnace that is built to heat an object moving along a conveyor belt of an assembly line is considered. A furnace of this type can be used by the manufacturing industry for applications such as curing of paint, annealing or manufacturing through chemical deposition. The object that is to be heated moves along the furnace as it is heated following a specified temperature history while the spatial temperature distribution is kept isothermal through the whole process. The temperature distribution of the heaters of the furnace should be changed as the object moves so that the specified temperature history can be satisfied. The design problem is a transient design problem where a series of inverse solutions is utilized. The process furnace considered is in the shape of a rectangular tunnel where the heaters are located at top and the design object moves at the bottom. The inverse formulation of such a system is advantageous over a traditional trial-and-error solution where an iterative solution is required for every position as the object moves. The inverse formulation of the design problem involves ill-posed Fredholm equation of the first kind and the use of a regularized solver rather than an ordinary one such as Gauss-Seidel or Gauss elimination is essential. The radiative transfer is formulated utilizing the Monte Carlo method that enables including further realistic characteristics like specularly reflecting walls.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes the development and application of a mathematical model, which simulates the installation of a porous ceramic section as a replacement for part of the conventional lining in a continuously operated, high temperature, gas-fired furnace for heating steel bars prior to a hot forming process. The overall model iteratively links a sub-model of the flow and heat transfer through the porous section with a zone model of heat transfer in the furnace chamber. The resultant predicted heat fluxes at the top surface of the load are then used in a finite-difference calculation of conduction through the thickness of the bars to predict the temperature distribution within the load and the thermal performance of the furnace. The model is used to investigate the effects of the size and positioning of the porous lining as well as changes in its emissivity. In addition simulations were undertaken for a range of thermal inputs to the furnace. Overall the predictions demonstrate that the replacement of part of the conventional refractory lining by a porous ceramic section can result in enhanced radiative heat transfer to the load and hence significantly improved furnace performance.

Full textAbstract:
A retrofit study was conducted in a manufactured house to investigate the impacts of airtightening on ventilation rates and energy consumption. This paper describes the retrofits and the results of the pre- and post-retrofit assessment of building airtightness, ventilation, and energy use. Building envelope and air distribution systems airtightness were measured using fan pressurization. Air change rates were measured continuously using the tracer gas decay technique. Energy consumption associated with heating and cooling was monitored through measurement of gas consumption by the forced-air furnace for heating and electricity use by the air-conditioning system for cooling. The results of the study show that the retrofits reduced building envelope leakage by about 18 % and duct leakage by about 80 %. The reduction in the house infiltration rates depended on weather conditions and the manner in which the heating and cooling system was controlled, but in general these rates were reduced by about one third. The energy consumption of the house for heating and cooling were reduced by only about 10 %, which is relative small but not totally unexpected given that infiltration only accounts for a portion of the heating and cooling load. An existing multizone airflow model of the building was modified to reflect the airtightening retrofits, and the predicted infiltration rates agreed well with the measured values over a range of weather and system operation conditions
