Analysis of similarity of physical processes during simulation of cooling of machine crystallizers

Energy efficient cooling of a continuous-casting mold

“…The drawback of works [3][4][5] is that the models are made in a reduced scale, and the heat flow delivered to the models is less than in natural conditions. The analysis of the similarity of the physical processes while modeling cooling of the molds is shown in work [6]. In work [7], the results of continuous casting of the low fusible alloy into the steel mold with a new cooling system are given.…”

“…The materials published in works [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] are presented and discussed at conferences [8,9], at industrial plants and in scientific organizations.…”

“…Let us additionally analyze the heat flow transferred in the cooling system of the mold using dimen sional analysis [6]. To define the dimensionless complexes, the Rayleigh algebraic method is applied …”
