Accurate prediction of NOx emission is essential in designing combustion devices and
troubleshooting of existing ones. The aim of this work is to investigate the sensitivity of NOx …

The aim of a massive reduction of CO 2-emissions results in a move away from fossil fuels.
In the hot strip production of steel, almost exclusively gas-fired furnaces are currently used …

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 …

The thermal input of a flameless burner is commonly realized by its switch on-time at a
unique, optimized design point. This typical on–off regulation approach may provide …

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 …

One important objective in steel pipe manufacturing is to avoid rejects. In order to
adequately heat each individual pipe in the furnace, the surface temperature of all pipes …

Determining glass quality has been a focal point of CFD studies of glass furnaces for several
decades. Previous research identified the utilisation of glass tank space by inhomogeneities …

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 …

Precise knowledge of the scale mass formed is essential for the production of high quality
steel. In this context several different models have been developed to represent the …

In order to obtain the most uniform temperature of the load, heat transfer in heat treatment
furnaces used in the steel industry was studied. Different two-equation turbulence models …
