摘要
A dynamic one-dimensional mathematical model was developed for predicting the thermal state of a steelmaking ladle. The model is intended to be used in process control applications, in which fast computational times are desirable alongside model accuracy. The calculation domain was discretized using the finite difference method, and time integration was performed using both the implicit Euler and Crank-Nicolson methods, the performances of which were compared. The model was implemented in Python programming language and validated using data from our own measurements and other studies available in the literature. The results indicate that the model can reproduce the measured temperature evolution of the ladles within 5 degrees C at best. The worst performance was observed during cooling, where the model underestimates the temperature at the innermost measurement point by up to 200 degrees C. With computation times of around 16-23 s for one hour of simulation, the model is computationally sufficiently fast for online applications.
