This program will enable you to compute temperatures on the surface and inside the rolling roll, temperature field of the roll cross-section, change in diameter owing to heating, and spray pattern when plate rolling. The program can use boundary conditions obtained from experiments. (visit our www.heatlab.cz)

Main Features

The work roll can consist of more than one kind of material.

The configuration of the rolls, bars, and nozzles is shown in the 3D preview.

The program can play any project in the 3D animation mode.

Cooling HTC can be set in three different ways.

The program sets automatically the parameters of the mesh.

Material and nozzle database are editable.

Two types of HTC editor are included.

Input Parameters

• basic information about the project
• dimensions and material of the rolls
• positions of bars and nozzles
• time intervals when the nozzles are in action
• boundary conditions and number of control volumes
• time intervals when the material is being rolled
• roll cross-section points in which you want to record the temperatures
• time intervals when the instantaneous temperatures are being recorded

Databases

• material database
• nozzle database
• experimental nozzle database

Results:

• average temperatures versus time in chosen points of roll cross-section
• temperatures versus time in chosen points of roll cross-section
• temperature field of roll cross-section
• spray pattern (volume of the impinging coolant)
• HTC pattern
• coolant distribution
• roll diameter change in a chosen time
