Abstract: Heating process of ingots has been simulated by a computer, and a developed mathematical model has been solved numerically. In this way, it is possible to calculate different parameters nelated fo various charging conditions and heating operations, such as the relationship between temperatures and fuel consumptions and heating time, the most suitable length of time at different, periods of heating. It is also possible to calculate fuel consumptions, productivities of soaking pits and so on.
The calculation can be used to study heating regulations of soaking pits,and estabish a mathematical model for control of soaking pits with computers.
