[0026] Figure 3 A possible hardware structure schematic diagram of a computer readable storage medium is provided for the application.

[0027] Fig. 4 is a small hole throttling schematic diagram provided by the application.

[0028] Mark explanation: main pipeline 1, shunt branch pipeline 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The specific embodiments of the application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the application, but not to limit the scope of the application.

[0030] Figure 1 A converter vaporization cooling flue design method is provided for the application, comprising the following steps:

[0031] S1, segment modeling of the flue, the built flue model comprising a main pipeline 1 and a plurality of shunt branch pipelines 2 in parallel communication with the main pipeline 1, and each shunt branch pipeline 2 being provided with a resistance element at the inlet and / or outlet thereof; modeling of the flue in the vaporization cooling system of the steel industry for heat exchange, the flue for heat exchange comprising a main pipeline 1 and a plurality of shunt branch pipelines 2, each shunt branch pipeline 2 being in parallel with each other and in communication with the main pipeline 1. The flue gas enters from the main pipeline 1 and then flows out from each shunt branch pipeline 2. Figure 1 The shunt branch pipelines 21-n are shown.

[0032] S2, the resistance elements are equivalent to small hole throttling elements, the flue model is simulated, and parameters of each small hole throttling element are adjusted, so that a temperature difference between outlets of each branch pipeline 2 is within a preset range, and each branch pipeline 2 is obtained. The best matching resistance element. The flow rate information of each branch pipeline is obtained by simulating and calculating the initial model, which can be three-dimensional simulation or one-dimensional.

[0033] a. One-dimensional simulation

[0034] The entire flue system is considered as a one-dimensional system, and the element resistance can be calculated according to the conventional one-dimensional calculation, in which the pipeline pressure drop is calculated as:

[0035]

[0036] The resistance coefficient of the general pipeline is:

[0037]

[0038] Value: 0.03-0.031, which can be 0.031, and other parameters can be selected according to the actual situation. The resistance elements can be equivalent to small holes, and the small hole throttling schematic diagram is shown in Figure 4 .

[0039] b. Three-dimensional simulation

[0040] Three-dimensional software such as fluent is used for modeling, and boundary heat exchange conditions (considered as internal stable heat source, and gravity effect is added) are combined for calculation, and then the size of the small hole is adjusted in the simulation process, so that the temperature difference of the outlets of each branch pipeline 2 meets the requirements.

[0041] In the preferred scheme, the resistance elements are one or more of small holes, porous throttling orifice plates, and valves. The resistance elements are added or modified small holes or throttling orifice plates, that is, the content is added at each inlet end. Since there are many kinds of throttling elements, the effective ones at this stage are small holes, throttling orifice plates (porous type), different pipe diameters, valves, detachable orifice plates, and the like.

[0042] In the preferred scheme, S2 specifically includes:

[0043] The flow rate information of each branch pipeline is obtained, and the resistance value of the resistance element is calculated;

[0044] According to the resistance size of the resistance element, a plurality of regions are divided, each region includes one or more resistance elements with the closest resistance value;

[0045] In adjusting the parameters of the small hole throttling element in the branch pipe 2, first determine the area, and then select the best resistance element in the area as the resistance element of the branch pipe 2.

[0046] One area includes a plurality of resistance elements, and the resistance values of the resistance elements in each area are similar. In this way, when adjusting the parameters of the resistance elements, first select an area, and set all the resistance values in the area to the same value, which can be the average value or other value, but ensure that the values of each area are different. Then further select a specific resistance element in the best effect area.

[0047] Industrial design can divide the resistance element results into several areas, and use the same resistance element setting for the relatively close ones to simplify the design difficulty of industrial application. The purpose of this concept is to simplify design and calculation, because too fine small holes actually only have a great effect on scientific research. After zoning, it can have greater application in engineering practice. After considering zoning, the resistance elements in one area can be set to the same, and the same simulation method mentioned earlier can be used to simplify calculation and operation amount. At the same time, considering that the result difference is within 5% (this value can be adjusted), it is considered that it can be used.

[0048] The zoning example can divide it into 8 areas according to the calculation results and the closeness of the resistance, and number the pipes to better match. Fine design can fine design each heated pipe, number each heated pipe, and number the resistance elements for corresponding design. In this way, the branch pipe 2 can maximize the utilization rate of heat exchange and have higher matching degree.

[0049] The preferred scheme, the S2 specifically includes: combining the boundary heat exchange condition for calculation, and then adjusting the size of the small hole in the simulation process, so that the temperature difference between the outlets of each branch pipe 2 is within a predetermined range. The boundary heat exchange condition includes internal stable heat source and added gravity effect. Use three-dimensional software such as fluent to model, and combine the boundary heat exchange condition (considered as internal stable heat source, added gravity effect) to calculate, and then adjust the size of the small hole in the simulation process, so that the temperature difference between the positions of each branch pipe is within a predetermined range.

As shown in Figure 2As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which comprises a memory 1310, a processor 1320, and a computer program 1311 stored in the memory 1310 and capable of running on the processor 1320, and the processor 1320 implements the following steps when executing the computer program 1311: S1, segmentally modeling a flue, and the built flue model comprises a main pipeline and a plurality of branch pipelines in parallel communication with the main pipeline, and a resistance element is arranged at the inlet of each branch pipeline;
