Abstract
A mathematical model of interdependent phenomena of heat and mass transfer, material and gas flow was developed to optimize design and operating parameters of shaft furnaces. In addition, experimental methods to determine flow parameters in local regions of furnace volume have been also proposed. Calculations and experimental investigations indicate a strong correlation between predicted results and conditions, prevalent in industry.
Based on this, adaptation procedure for the mathematical model and principles for its simplification for different shaft furnaces have been proposed.
