Objective: This spreadsheet calculates the thermal profile of a slab during its reheating in a continuous furnace used in a hot strip mill or plate mill line. Its temperatures accross its thickness are calculated from the set-points of the furnace and slab start temperature. A graphical output of the results is available.
Notes: This program considers only the radiative heat transfer from the furnace walls to the slab surface. The conductive heat transfer through the slab thickness is considered to be symmetric. The effect of the water cooled skids on slab temperature is not considered.
