Lectures
1st The production requirements for lining furnaces and heating equipment.
2nd The principles of the use of refractory materials - draft terms of decision-lining.
3rd Analysis of the consumption of refractory materials in various industrial sectors (metallurgy of ferrous and nonferrous metals,
chemical industry, glass, construction materials and fuels).
4th Basic refractories for furnace structure and characteristics - shape and Unshaped Construction materials, thermal insulation
materials.
5th Thermal linings work - Addressing the temperature field in a time-lining steady and unsteady state, one-sided heating,
heating throughout the volume, continuous and cyclic heating, 1 and 2 Fourier's law, initial and surface conditions.
6th Influence of insulation in the lining, the basic thermal and technical properties of refractory materials (thermal conductivity, specific
heat capacity, viscosity, density, density).
7th Effect of corrosion on the lining and measures for its prevention - study of the interaction between slag and refractory materials
(Application of ternary diagrams), cooling lining.
8th Technology making linings. Linings of dense shaped material, unshaped from building materials, cellular and fibrous
materials. ŽÁROMONOLITY. Anchoring and hanging lining.
9th Construction of linings of metallurgical aggregates (VP, hot blast, pig iron mixer, converter,
tandem furnace, EAF, electric induction furnaces, etc.).
10th Refractory structure in the secondary metallurgy (ladles, tundish + shielding and immersion tube equipment
vacuum treatment of steel, etc.).
11th Construction of furnace linings in ceramic, glass, and power industry (fuel drying, chamber furnace, tunnel
furnaces, shaft and rotary kilns for firing of raw materials, glass melting furnaces).
12th Repair lining - lining repair technology "cold" and "hot" (shotcreting, shotkretování, slag
coating, slag splashing, etc.), ways of increasing the life of furnace linings and thermal devices.

Exercise
1st Statistical analysis of multivariate data, linear and polynomial regression - using the least squares method for approximating the dependencies.
2nd Extended use of built-in features of MS Excel - f-ing IF, LOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, BESSELJ
3rd Surface conditions - Calculation of the overall heat transfer coefficient on the outside of the lining - the use of criteria
equations and equations for radiation heat transfer.
4th Solution of temperature field lining - Stationary temperature field one-dimensional (plane wall, cylindrical, spherical).
The use of iterative methods.
5th Energy Balance - calculating enthalpy linings.
6th Solution unidirectional unsteady temperature field in an infinite plate for various boundary conditions (q = const.;
TPR = const; tpov = const.; tpov = f (time); TPR = f (time), etc.).
7th Solution unidirectional unsteady temperature field in an infinite cylinder for various boundary conditions (q = const.;
TPR = const; tpov = const.; tpov = f (time); TPR = f (time), etc.).
8th The calculation procedure of transcendental equations (graphically, numerically), Bessel functions.
9th Solution of unsteady temperature field for 3D shapes (cuboid, prism, cylinder).
10th Numerical methods (finite difference method).
11th Using macros in Excel - View card developer, creating macros, use the controls.
12.Z he ​​cost of programming in VBA - Sub / Function, variable declarations, create your own formulas, creating
user forms.
