Above sequence depicts typical screen displays. The sequence cycles every 5 seconds. The load selection can be a slab heated or cooled from 2 sides, slab heated or cooled from one side, solid square or rectangular bars, solid or hollow cylinders, solid or hollow spheres. The time includes convection, radiation, and conduction heat transfer modes during any desired incremental time periods.
Gases can be above or below atmospheric pressure.
Plant elevations can be entered, so that the correct atmospheric pressure is computed. Physical properties of 22 common metals are programmed, other metals or non-metals can be entered. Density, specific heat and thermal conductivity are accessed during the computation iterations. If a solid square or rectangular bar is selected, the computed data shows temperatures at the center, each face, temperature at the center of the long edge, and extreme corner, and average temperature. This program computes the equilibrium temperature for metallurgical processes to detemine whether the process is oxidizing or reducing to steel.
