Estimation of Maximum Production Rate of End-Fired Galvanizing Furnaces
Chris Mason of Western Technologies dispels some myths around the topic. Westech uses a computer simulation to calculate the maximum production rate of their galvanizing furnaces. There are much simpler approaches, but how meaningful are they? For example this kind of formula has been used: p = (qw (heated wall area) – qs (surface area)) ______________________________ […]
