Heat Transfer Simulation of Slab in Batch Type Reheating Furnace

Abstract
Steel is the mother of industry, and is also an energy consumption intensive industry. Especially for the rolling mill, the energy consumption in a reheating furnace take a half, so to save energy in a reheating furnace and reduce the energy consumption become the major issue in the future.
The reheating furnace used in general process of steel producing can divided into two types-Continuous type and Batch type- through its ability of steel rolling¡Napproach and its demand. In this thesis, our research target is the batch type reheating furnace, we based on theory of heat transfer in a reheating furnace to build a simulation system of reheating furnace and calculate the temperature-time curve of slab and its heat flux. And then we use the thermal balance model to analysis the situation of fuel consumption. According to different operated conditions, we want to discuss the relationships between energy consumption and increasing temperature of slab inside furnace¡Nsoaking degree¡C
From analysis result, we can find that fixed the total time in furnace, the longer of heating time is, the lower of average temperature of slab and the higher of temperature difference of discharge slab are. But in the process of increasing temperature, the max temperature difference of slab is lower. Using the exhaust gas to preheat air through the heat exchanger, we can find that when the temperature of preheated air is increasing, the heat loss of exhaust gas and fuel consumption will be lower. When air-fuel ratio is getting higher, the temperature difference in the process of increasing temperature will be getting lower, and it will be higher as the slab soaks. When air-fuel ratio is increasing, the quantity of fuel consumption will increase too. In respect of refractory material, heat loss of furnace and accumulation of heat in refractory material caused by using the refractory cottons is less than using the refractory bricks. Besides that, the different fuel will only affect the quantity of fuel consumption, not increasing temperature of slab and soaking degree.
