The main objective of the present study is to analyze the heat transfer characteristics in the vacuum carburizing furnace. Local temperatures are measured at different locations in the self-fabricated furnace for various operating conditions using K-type thermocouples. In addition, the present study simulates the fluid flows and heat transfer in the vacuum carburizing furnace using a commercial package (Fluent V. 6.0), and compares the predictions of local temperatures with experimental data. The temperature and flow fields are predicted. It is found that the time taken for reaching the steady-state temperature under the vacuum pressure is shorter than that under the normal pressure condition. It means that the carburizing furnace under vacuum pressure condition is capable of saving the required energy more efficiently than the furnace under the normal pressure condition. Furthermore, the temperature variations predicted by the numerical simulations are in good agreement with experimental data.

Application of aluminum alloy has been increasing for most of industry area because aluminum has a good mechanical properties and castability, especially automotive field for weight reduction. But, Furnace industry is sluggish. The purpose of this study is numerical analysis of aluminum holding furnace for reasonableness estimation when we design for new model of furnace. The numerical simulation involving fluid flow of inside air and heat transfer to fireproof material is presented in order to improve the understanding of aluminum furnace. First of all, we are carried out numerically for the two dimensional inside convection and surface radiation heat transfer in a square enclosure. Subsequently, we are established the analysis method of aluminum furnace considering natural convective heat transfer

Finite element analysis showed that strong magnetic fields were distributed around the arc furnace where the strongest magnetic fields were generated around the three phase cables. The second and third strongest fields near the arc furnace were found to be generated around the electrodes and the mast-arms, respectively. The generated field intensities were greatly influenced by the mast arm structure of the arc furnace as well as the phase differences and operation currents of the supplied power, Magnetic field decay patterns around the arc furnace could be smoothly fitted by this equation of exponential formula, H=H$0_$+Ae$^{\frac{r}{t}}$. These results revealed that magnetic field intensities around the arc furnace could be estimated at any 3-dimensional position using finite element method (FEM).

A glassy thin film was formed on the surface of the blast furnace slag. When blast furnace slag is used as an admixture of concrete, addition of alkali activators were required. However, alkali activators are not only dangerous as chemical products, but they are also difficult to use as expensive materials. Therefore, it is necessary to study the way of removal of the glassy thin film of blast furnace slag without the risk and cost increase. In this study, to solve this problem, experiment was carried out to improve the hydration reactivity by treatment the surface of blast furnace slag using arc discharge. Experimental results show that when the surface of the blast furnace slag was tratmented by arc discharge, the glassy thin film was destroyed. And the hydration reactivity was improved, the compressive strength was increased.

A conventional advanced control algorithm is proposed in this paper for improved temperature regulation of a TV-glass melting furnace. The TV-Glass melting furnace is a typical MIMO(Multi-Input Multi Output) system which is subject to various thermal disturbances. Because of its complexity, a detailed mathematical model of the furnace is hard to establish. To design a temperature control control system of the furnace, major input-output variables are selected first, and simple FOPDT(First Order Plus Dead Time) models are established based on the physical meaning and experimental process data. Based on the FOPDT models, a multi-loop control system composed of cascade and single loops are designed for effective control of the MIMO system. Practical implementation on the 150 ton/day furnace using the DCS(Distributed Control System) showed that the proposed control technique performs better than manual control.

Blast-Furnace Slag, a by-product of the iron or steel industry, has potential sa a cementitious material. The addition of a Blast-Furnace Slag generally reduces the heat of hydration and can confer significant improvements in resistance to sulfate attack and alkali-aggregate reaction, as well as increases in ultimate strength. But it also reduces early-age strength. In this study, for the purpose of improvement of early-age quality of Blast-Furnace Slag concrete, we choose blaine fineness of $6, 000~8, 000cm^2/g$ of Blast-Furnace Slag, and investigate the various properties of concrete. As a result, workability and early-age strength of Blast-Furnace Slag concrete were improved according to the increase of blaine fineness of Blast-Furnace Slag.

We applied a DCS which was developed in Korea to test furnace. Test furnace is a pilot-scale plant made for finding combustion in firing coal. In this paper, we describe control system which was implemented in test furnace in detail. Finally, we describe the fire box temperature control loop, and show fire box temperature control result during commissioning stage using implemented control system.

It is difficult to establish a mathematical furnace model and automatic-fumace control because of the difficulty in direct measurement of the inner condition of a blast furnace. To solve this problem, we has developed and actually operated a blast furnace operation control system using artificial intelligence tool to be applied to the blast furnace process computer system. Since this system has a function of automatic Treat level control, higher practicality has been proved than the previous guidance-level expert system. This paper introduces an outline of the system and the result of application.

With increasing content of granulated blase furnace slag in cement, the content of capillary pores in the mortar decreases and later age strength of the concrete. Therefore, this provides greater reserves study is carried out to estimate frost resistance of high-strength concrete specimens with water cement ratios using blast-furnace slag. 1. Blast furnace concrete is comparatively more good frost resistance than normal concrete. 2. As the blast furnace slag increases, the quantity of pores with a radius of more than 30nanometer decreses.

As a part of efforts for conformity of demand to high quality of concrete and for solution of economic problem, blast-furnace slag has been utilized by means of cement replacement. With utilization of blast-furnace slag, superior performance can be ensured, environmental pollution can be prevented and economical advantage can be obtained. But blast-furnace slag has a lot of disadvantages like retardation of strength manifestation etc. in field construction, so properties examination of concrete using blast-furnace slag instead of cement is necessary. For upper necessity, it is planed that basic data for utilization and performance management of blast-furnace slag by means of cement replacement is presented with experimental comparison and investigation of engineering properties of concrete according to the replacement ratio and fineness of blast-furnace slag.
