Abstract

In this paper an experimental and empirical methods are proposed to estimate the heat transfer enhancement in industrial heating processes in oval furnaces. An investigation was conducted to study the suitability of inserting radiant panels of different positions and radiation surface. Two case studies were considered. The maximum energy saving was obtained for case 5: 32,89 % off from the standard experiment (with no panels). The minimum energy saving was obtained for case 10: 11,72 % off from the standard experiment (with no panels). Finally, based on the results of this study, a correlation was developed to predict the inner configuration of an oval furnace.
