Furnace chambers are currently designed with extensive use of methods employing computer programs for three-dimensional dynamics that take into account a large number of influencing factors in the form of physically based quantities without the computational model being dependent on features of the geometry and operating mode of the furnace. The results of heat transfer calculations, however, are highly dependent on a priori specification of the level of loose (not sintered) deposits and slagging of the furnace. This has made it necessary to develop and test models of slagging and empirical methods for predicting the thermal resistance of deposits based on extensive studies in Russia. For practical purposes it is also necessary to improve zonal methods using physical principles for heat transfer calculations.
