Calculation of melting zone height in coke cupolas

Basing on the work presented one may calculate the height of the melting zone and its other parameters. The parameters that may be calculated are, for example, time of melting of metal batch pieces, number of pieces being simultaneously melted, their development surface and total volume, linear velocity of melting, temperature of gasses at input to the melting zone and on the output of the zone. The work presented constitutes a link completing the coke cupola heat exchange theory elaborated by author. The main objective of the theory is the calculation of working height of cupola, securing its optimal run, or optimal calculation of technical parameters (e. g., the quantity of blow air, coke output) for cupolas of given working height.
