- The work (funded by EU RFCS RFS-PR-11026: total cost = 2.4M€, USW share = 342k€) describes the application of a novel fast and accurate radiation heat transfer model to simulate steel reheating processes under oxy-fuel combustion conditions. The collaborator Swerim supplied the pilot-scale experimental data for model validation. The simulation results indicated substantial fuel saving of 16% and reduction in heating time of 6% when compared to conventional air-fuel combustion. The simulation model can be adapted by furnace operators to accelerate informed decision without costly experimental work and plant testing.
