AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for predicting steel billet temperature in a heating furnace are inaccurate and require direct temperature measurement, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially when fuel gas changes occur.
Determine the overall heat absorption rate using radiant and convective heat transfer amounts from the inner wall and combustion gas to the steel billet, without direct temperature measurement, by employing equations that account for changes in fuel gas composition and emissivity.
Enables accurate prediction of steel billet temperature from the start of operation, reducing downtime and increasing production efficiency by allowing for stable heating and hot-rolling processes.
