The model developed which including the temperature for gas in heating chamber and the heating cover is based on the characteristics of anneal craft and the situations of locale production run. Firstly, the characteristic of the heating cover which limits the temperature was considered. Secondly, the locale production run condition and dispatching condition were considered. Finally, combining with the models and the simulation system, the numerical simulation research of the anneal process for the high performance hydrogen bell-type annealer as well as the spot experiment test were carried out. The results obtained from the developed models, usually finished less than thirty seconds, are in fair agreement with the test values, such as the relative errors of annealing times were within ±5%, and the quality＇ of the annealed steels were guaranteed.展开更多

Although soil thermal conductivity has been well studied for non-fire heated soils, comprehensive data that evaluate the long-term effect of extreme heating from a fire on the soil thermal conductivity are limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term impact of fire on the effective thermal conductivity of soils by directly comparing fire-heated and no-fire control soils through a series of laboratory studies. The thermal conductivity was measured for ten soil samples from two sites within the Manitou Experimental Forest, Colorado, USA, for a range of water contents from saturation to the residual degree of saturation. The thermal conductivity measured was compared with independent estimates made using three empirical models from literature, including the Campbell et al. （1994）, CSt~ and Konrad （2005）, and Massman et al. （2008） models. Results demonstrate that for the test soils studied, the thermal conductivity of the fire-heated soils was slightly lower than that of the control soils for all observed water contents. Modeling results show that the Campbell et al. （1994） model gave the best agreement over the full range of water contents when proper fitting parameters were employed. Further studies are needed to evaluate the significance of including the influence of fire burn on the thermal properties of soils in modeling studies.展开更多
