Slab reheating is a very important step in steel product manufacturing. A small improvement in reheating efficiency can translate into big savings to steel mills in terms of fuel consumption and productivity. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been employed in conducting numerical simulations of the slab reheating furnace operation. However, a full industrial scale three-dimensional (3D) simulation of a slab reheating furnace, while comprehensive, is not an efficient way to conduct broad studies of the slab heating process. In this paper, a comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) numerical heat transfer model for slab reheating in a walking beam furnace was developed using the finite difference method. The 2D heat transfer model utilizes the heat transfer coefficients derived from a 3D reheating furnace CFD model which was validated by using mill instrumented slab trials. The 2D heat transfer model is capable of predicting slab temperature evolutions during the reheating processes based on the real time furnace conditions and steel physical properties. The 2D model was validated by using mill instrumented slab trials and production data. Good agreement between the model predictions and production data was obtained.

A two-dimensional mathematical heat transfer model for the prediction of temperature distribution within the slab has been developed by considering the thermal radiation in the walking-beam-type reheating furnace chamber and transient heat conduction in the slab, respectively. The steel slabs are heated up through the preheating, heating, and soaking zones in the furnace. Heat transfer characteristics and temperature uniformity of the slab is investigated by changing hot gas temperature. Comparison with the in-situ experimental data show that the present heat transfer model works well for the prediction of thermal behavior of the slab in the reheating furnace. The skid mark severity decreases with an increase in hot gas temperature. Keywords: Reheating Furnace, Thermal Radiation, Transient heat conduction

A theoretical post-dryout heat transfer model is developed for two-phase dispersed flow, one-dimensional vertical pipe in a post-CHF regime. Because of the presence of average droplet diameter lower bound in a two-phase sparse flow. Droplet diameter is also calculated. Obtained results are compared with experimental values. Experimental data is used two-phase flow steam-water in VVER-1200, reactor coolant system, reactor operating pressure is 16.2 MPa. On heater rod surface, dryout was detected as a result of jumping increase of the heater rod surface temperature. Results obtained display lower droplet dimensions than the experimentally obtained values.
