Abstract

The aim of this work consists in studing the thermal behavior of ladles during steps of the operating cycle using heat transfer equations and computational simulation. From the study results sought to make improvements in order to reduce the loss of heat energy during steps of the production process. Through mathematical modeling, measurements in the plant and computational simulations were determined the temperature drops and heat losses. Therefore were proposed operational and physical changes that after practice tests and or computational simulations proved to be efficient for the reduction of heat loss and lower consumption in the ladle furnace.
