Numerical Simulation on the Flow,Combustion and Heat Transfer in a Regenerative Reheating Furnace at Xinyu Steel

The signification of CFD to the design and optimization of metallurgical furnaces and thermal facilities was introduced briefly.A regenerative reheating furnace at Xinyu steel was numerically simulated in 3-D by using the k-e model combined with mixed burning model,and radiation model.The results indicate that the flow pattern and the distribution of temperature and concentration in the regenerative reheating furnace are favorable to satisfy reheating requirements of the high quality billet.
