Research Abstract |
This study aims at clarifying heat transfer performances of a newly suggested temperature equalizer with the radiative converter for a slab in the continuous casting-direct rolling (CC-DR) process. The present temperature equalization is an application of the effective energy conversion method between gas enthalpy and thermal radiation by using porous media. Since the heat transfer system considered here is very complex owing to the conjugation of transient conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer, a fundamental study was carried out first by focusing attention on the the effect of convective heat transfer. On the basis of the numerically calculated laminar flow field around the slab, the transient heat conduction wihtin the slab was predicted. For the turbulent flow field which is of practical importance, the heat transfer experiment was conducted at a moderate temperature, and the systematic data for various conditions were accumulated. The high-temperature experiment was made by using the model temperature equalizer which is about one fifth of the actual one in dimensions. To simulate the CC-DR process in the experiment, the uniformly preheated model slab was cooled first by thermal radiation, and was subsequently fed into the temperature equalizer. By measurements of transient slab temperatures, it has proved that the radiative converter equalizes the slab temperature quickly owing to the local heating of the slab edge. Furthermore, the estimation of the overall energy balance in the temperature equalizer has demonstrated that efficient temperature equalization is feasible if the available energy flowing out of it is recovered. In addition to these investigations, the field tests were made and the feasibility of the present edge heater was discussed by Kinto in Daido Steel Co., Ltd. who has enough experience in designing the edge heater of CC-DR and in introducing the radiative converter into the working facilities.
