DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR RESEARCHING THE HEAT MODE OF A CHAMBER FURNACE USING SPA TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Construction of metallurgical furnaces is impossible without their preliminary calculation. The calculation allows to analyze the influence of various factors on the processes and to choose based on this the optimal values of the parameters. There are several techniques for calculating furnaces. They are all complex enough, saturated with lots of relevant equations, reference tables, diagrams and more. Usually, they are performed manually by heating engineers, take a fair amount of time, do not always produce reliable results and require extensive engineering qualification.The purpose of this work is to create a software that automates the calculation and allows to simulate the thermal regime of a fixed kiln chamber furnace, given the limited availability of such product in the software market.To accomplish this task, Single Page Application technology, JavaScript programming language, and Angular framework were chosen.The results of the application implementation are divided into eight sections: calculation of fuel combustion; determining the size of the working space of the furnace; calculation of heat exchange in the working space of the furnace; calculation of metal heating; mode of metal heating; thermal balance of the furnace; power and efficiency of the furnace; determining the size of flue ducts.As a result of the work, the calculation of the fixed kiln chamber furnace is automated; the original design, intuitive user interface and logo of the web application are developed using modern technologies and approaches; the software is tested on concrete use cases; a test calculation and the thermal regime simulation of a fixed kiln chamber furnace is performed.
