Determination of Fuel Expenditure on the Basis of Heat Balance at Heating Thin Bodies by Convection and Radiation

Abstract

The paper shows that it is possible to determine value of fuel expenditure that is necessary to maintain the required temperature regime in a furnace on the basis of heat balance equation.The proposed methodology makes it possible to obtain an equation for calculation of immediate fuel expenditure at any time moment. The given solution of the problem takes into consideration initial and final teiręerature of metal and temperature distribution at the current time moment that significantly improves calculation accuracy.
