✦ Synopsis

Equations describing heat transfer in a combustion flue were developed and incorporated into a coke oven simulation programme, The model can be used to predict the oven temperature history, and the evolution rate and composition of the volatile matter. Unlike other coking models, the present package does not require the temperature history of the heating wall to be specified. It is calculated by the combustion flue model. This significantly extends the number of applications which can be studied. The model has been implemented in a computer program which requires only basic data on the charge properties, fuel gas composition, and oven dimensions as input. The model was tested by comparing predicted temperature profiles with data from two industrial batteries. Good agreement was obtained in both cases.
