CALCULATION OF MELTING ZONE HEIGHT IN COKE CUPOLAS

Basing on the work presented one may calculate the height of the melti ng zone and its other parameters. The parameters that may be calculate d are, for example, time of melting of metal batch pieces, number of p ieces being simultaneously melted, their development surface and total volume, linear velocity of melting, temperature of gasses at input to the melting zone and on the output of the zone. The work presented co nstitutes a link completing the coke cupola heat exchange theory elabo rated by author. The main objective of the theory is the calculation o f working height of cupola, securing its optimal run, or optimal calcu lation of technical parameters (e. g., the quantity of blow air, coke output) for cupolas of given working height.
