We propose a mathematical model for the analysis of the temperature distribution in the cross-section of billets heated in walking-beam furnaces and the determination of rational lengths of the zones of the furnace in the design stage. The influence of the size of the gap between the billets on the dynamics of their heating is investigated. We determine parameters affecting the output of the furnace and the volumes of fuel consumed for heating.
