Prediction of the chemical composition of combustion products in metallurgical reheating furnaces by use of numerical methods

摘要

In this paper the results of numerical calculations of chemical composition of flue gases, produced by combustion of natural gas, were presented. Calculations were conducted for metallurgical pusher furnace, working in one of the steelworks located in Poland. The chemistry of combustion process was modeled using the program CHEMKIN-PRO. Simulations of the chemical composition of flue gas, in various zones of the furnace, were carried out based on the measurement data collected from the real object.
