摘要 Convective heat transfer and radiative heat transfer are two essential heat transfer modes in the heating process of steel; it is important to understand the role of them during the heating process clearly. The effects of the convective and radiative heat transfer during the heating process of a cast ingot in a tubular furnace have been studied by the designed natural and forced convection experiments and mathematical simulations. The heating time for the center of the ingot to reach the furnace temperature is decreased with the increase in furnace temperature. According to the experimental and simulation results, a model is proposed regarding the role of radiative and convective heat transfer in the heating process. At low temperature, the convective heat transfer plays a dominant role, while at high temperature, the influence of radiative heat transfer is larger. And a critical temperature exists between them. The forced convective heat transfer can enhance the influence of the convective heat transfer. The critical temperature can be shifted to higher temperatures.
