An analogue computer simulation of a Cowper Stove
British Iron and Steel Research Association, 24 Buckingham Gate, London SW1, UK
The hot blast stove is a counterflow regenerator operating under conditions of variable mass flow. In consequence the solution of the corresponding differential equations for dynamic equilibrium makes extreme demands on computing facilities. An analogue circuit has been developed which involves few simplifying assumptions. Results have been compared with a simplified digital solution for a suitable restricted case.
