Mathematical model of integrated thermal apparatus

Abstract

Mathematical model for the integrated thermal apparatus was developed. It consists of program modules from which individualfurnace model can be generated. For the model generation elementary balance method was used. Generation of the individual modelincludes model formulation and parameters determination. Model formulation is based on first principles, heuristics and empirical results.Parameters determination is generally based on priory information, but it has to take into account specific conditions. The developed modelwas adapted for real time applications. For quantitative application developed model has to be calibrated. For the calibration theoperational furnace can be used. For model calibration of not existing furnace the priory knowledge and physical model can be used.Presented model was calibrated on experimental furnace. The results were gained by simulations.
