Abstract

The quality of sheet metal products produced in the metallurgical industry depends on the correct selection and adherence to process conditions. Metal heating before rolling is typically performed in continuous furnaces. During the heating process, complex phenomena occur in the furnace working space, requiring the use of CFD systems to simulate these processes. The specialties of fuel combustion and the movement of combustion products, which stipulate the heat transfer to the surface of the heated metal, are determined by the design of the burners used. Flat-roof furnaces use flat-flame burners. The Ansys Fluent simulates the processes occurring in a portion of the working space of a heating furnace equipped with flat-flame burners.

Keywords
