Abstract: | In the present study, the numerical simulation of reactive turbulent flow and heat transfer in a regenerative gas-fired furnace has been carried out to investigate its performance. The effects of geometric and operating conditions on the performance of the furnace have also been studied. A moment closure method with an assumed g probability density function for mixture fraction is used in the present work to model the turbulent nonpremixed combustion process in the furnace. A comparison is made between the predicted results and the experimental data. |
