Modeling and Simulation of Carbonization Chamber Heat Transfer Process in Coke Oven

Abstract

A novel modeling method based on MATLAB is proposed for heat transfer process of carbonization chamber in coke oven, to achieve time-driving simulation for coke making process. The inter-wall and half of a coal/coke blend are divided into several heat transfer plane units averagely. Based on heat transfer theory of one-dimensional plane, simulation model of heat transfer unit is built by Simulink, and then simulation models of the inter-wall and coal/coke blend are assembled by these unit models. Simulation software used for calculating thermal physical parameters and for analysing carbonization chamber heat transfer process is designed by MATLAB. Temperature curves of plane units in carbonization chamber inter-wall and coal/coke blend are obtained by simulation experiments, which show that the designed modeling method and simulation software are available.
