Abstract:

The aim of this work was to develop an optimization tool consisting of a two dimensional heat transfer model and an optimization algorithm to determine the improved cooling conditions for the sprays zones of a real continuous caster. The mathematical model of cooling process was used to calculate the strand temperatures along the machine. An optimization algorithm based on an Adaptive Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (AEPSO) approach was used to solve an optimal control of secondary cooling water distribution according to certain metallurgical criteria and some technological constraints, which enhance the global exploratory capability and avoid pre-mature convergence. The simulation results show that it can improve the repeatability and quality of solution.
