Abstract
The development of mathematical models of furnaces is briefly reviewed. The basic processes taking place in furnaces and the problems associated with their mathematical formulation and the necessary assumptions are discussed. The difficulty of determining the process parameters, and the methods of their estimation are included. Applications of mathematical models for the study of cooling of ingots, heating of steel, cowper stoves and for the study of erosion of refractories are also discussed.
