A three-dimensional mathematical (dynamic) model is presented to describe the sintering process. The model was developed to solve theoretical and practical problems. It allows real-time determination of the dynamic distribution of the temperature and chemical composition of the charge, the melt, the sinter cake, and the gas in the bed with allowance for transients, as well as the temperatures in the pallets and the parameters of the gas flow in the flue channel – including air infiltration.
