ARISTIZABAL SIERRA, Ricardo et al. Mathematical model for the combustion phenomena in a cupola furnace. Rev.fac.ing.univ. Antioquia [online]. 2006, n.36, pp.70-84. ISSN 0120-6230.
A mathematical model of the combustion phenomena occurring in a cupola furnace is presented. The most important heterogeneous cokegas reactions: combustion, CO2 gasification and steam gasification were used for modelling and Matlab (version 5.3) was used to solve said model. Results were compared with experimental data obtained in the cupola furnace of the ecoefficient plant at the University of Antioquia. The model evaluates composition profiles along the furnace column, composition of gases at the chimney and velocity at which metal is fed during this operation. Maximum deviations within 1% for CO2, 5% for CO, 7% for combustion ratio, and 9% for velocity of metal charge were obtained with the model.
Palavras-chave : cupola furnace; mathematical model; combustion.
