Abstract

The paper presents the result of numerical simulations performed to optimize the position of burners and off-gas exit for a tundish preheating system. The optimization of the position of burner heads and off-gas exit at the tundish top cover has been done by application of StarCD CFD software for numerical simulations. Optimisation of the position for burner heads and off-gas exhaust in the tundish top cover brought a uniform temperature field inside the tundish refractory layer during the transient preheating process with minimal fuel consumption.
