Expert system of diagnostics blast furnace process

Abstract

The expert system of diagnostics blast furnace process is presented. It is based on a logical-mathematical model for assessing the progress of blast furnace smelting. The model provides an opportunity to evaluate the normal operation mode of blast furnace and further deviations from this mode such as overdeveloped gas flows (peripheral and central), violation of thermal melting conditions (hot and cold course of melt), violation of smooth descent of burned materials in the furnace (tight furnace operation, higher and lower suspension of burden). The functional capabilities of developed software are represented. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
