Summary

The course is focused on the knowledge of the basic of thermo-mechanics and the principles of heat transfer, hydromechanics. Describing the thermo-mechanical properties of heating/cooling materials too. There are described the principles of heat transfer in furnace, the regimes of heating the materials, determination the time of heating, heating in different ambient atmospheres, rapid heating. The refractory materials, heat-exchangers and measurement of fundamental quantities are also described. Industrial furnaces – their design, parameters and utilization is shown. Practical demonstration of heating and cooling the material is supplemented by numerical simulation with assessment.
