Abstract
For each of three control zones in a furnace, a computer calculates, at time intervals .DELTA.t, the heat input to slabs from the actual flow rates of the fuel and air and other stored data through the use of the equation of the thermal equilibrium and then determining the heat input to each slab by apportioning the calculated heat input among the slabs according to its heat content before the .DELTA.t. Subsequently, the computer estimates the fuel flow rate after the time interval .DELTA.t from a difference between the calculated heat input and an objective heat input and then determining the fuel flow rate through the use of the equation of the thermal equilibrium. For each control zone, a fuel regulator controls the fuel flow rate in response to the estimated flow rate while an air regulator controls an air flow rate in response to an optimum air ratio as determined by the estimated flow rate.
