title = "Aluminum holding furnace optimal design using the cfd method and factorial approach",
abstract = "Holding furnaces use less energy than melting furnaces but still represent an important process to optimize in the aluminum industry. Given that less energy is used, low-cost changes are needed to cost justify any furnace or burner work. Further modeling on a holding furnace was done to examine and investigate the optimum design to reduce energy usage. This paper investigates different options, e.g. burner size and load, chimney location and height, and furnace length and height. Preliminary results indicated a significant increase in the exergy efficiencies and therefore gas saving when the optimum selection of burner size, chimney location and furnace length/height is considered.",
