In the world's competitive industrial market, the development of existing manufacturing
equipment's such as industrial reheating furnaces (IRFs) increases profitability in terms of …

The iron and steel industry, responsible for 8% of global energy use, faces challenges in
achieving low-carbon development. Reheating furnaces consume 67% of the energy in …

This paper presents two main novel findings.(1) The first finding is the development of an
artificial neural network (ANN) model for thermal shrinkage of seamless steel pipes, which …

Glass furnaces represent a continuous challenge for CFD simulations, which is attributed to
the complex description of multiple phases: the turbulent gas phase, raw materials from a …

A computationally highly efficient numerical model is presented able to characterize
combustion and steel heating in a real-size industrial rotary hearth furnace using …

In this paper, a unified level 2 Advanced Process Control system for steel billets reheating
furnaces is proposed. The system is capable of managing all process conditions that can …

This paper investigates the impact of flameless oxy-fuel combustion on the thermal
performance of a pilot-scale steel reheating furnace. A comprehensive mathematical model …

This paper considers the steel reheating process, in which cold slabs are reheated to a
temperature suitable for hot rolling operations. Temperature uniformity within the slab is very …

The presented paper, deals with the influence of natural gas and hydrogen air–fuel and oxy–
fuel combustion on scale formation. A semi-industrial scale furnace with a multi-fuel, multi …

The performance of reheating furnace is highly dependent on the slab temperatures which
further determine energy consumption. In general, the oxide scale layer and skid marks …
