Abstract
Combustible waste gases are by-products of many technological processes. They vary in their calorific value and are used to decrease the usage of gases whose calorific value is higher. Coke oven gas from the coking process and process gases from an electric furnace in a copper plant are examples of such gases. Composition and calorific value of coke oven gas depend on coking parameters as well as on the type and quality of coal. The most common process where the coke oven gas is used is the process of heating combustion air in a heat regenerator. The gases from the electric furnace (due to low calorific value) require post combustion at the beginning of their disposal process. The paper addresses mathematical modelling of a coke oven battery regenerator as well as mathematical modelling of post combustion and cooling the electric furnace process gases. The regenerator mathematical model was elaborated for the simplified geometry of a real object making the assumptions for the heat transfer equations. The post combustion and cooling processes of the electric furnace gases are modelled with the aid of the Ansys software. This software was used for both elaborate simplified geometry of the analysed object and carry out the simulations. Mathematical description of occurring processes includes in this case combustion, turbulence and heat transfer.
