About the article
A.N. Makarov
The article presents the laws of thermal radiation of gas volumes of electric arcs in electric arc steelmaking furnaces (EASF) and torches in flare heating furnaces (FHF), furnaces of steam boilers (FSB) of power plants, combustion chambers (CC) of gas turbine units (GTU), gas turbine engines (GTE), discovered at the Department of Power Supply and Electrical Engineering of Tver State Technical University (TSTU). Part I of the article presents the problem of teaching university students to calculate heat transfer in EASF, FHF, FSB, CC of GTU, which existed in the 1950–1990s, before the discovery of the laws of thermal radiation of gas volumes. Based on the discovered laws, modern methods for calculating heat transfer in EAF, FBC, FBC, CC have been developed at TvSTU.
