Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Mathematical models reflecting the interrelationship between carbon potential and the gas parameters and temperature of a furnace atmosphere are developed.

  2. 2.

    The error of a model in the form log ϕ aC =f(%CO; %CO2; t; n) does not exceed ±0.02% C in practical ranges of furnace-atmosphere parameters.

  3. 3.

    The models that we developed make it possible to create comparatively simple algorithms to compute the carbon potential for specialized and universal computer units.
