Recent studies on simulation model for coke oven dealt with only heat transfer in half a chamber and the differential equations in them were solved only on the basis of observed values as boundary conditions. Therefore, the effect of the adjacent chamber could not be evaluated and coke oven operation was not satisfied to be predicted.
In this article, the authers presented a new simulation model including oven chamber, vertical and horizontal flue, and regenerator with fuel flow rate supplied as boundary conditions. In this model, not only a half chamber, but also a number of chambers were able to be treated. Using this model, some programmed heating systems were evaluated and a new system was proposed. Besides the theoretical studies using the model, the systems were inspected by using both a test oven and a commercial oven.
