Pseudo-bond graph modelling of temperature distribution in a through-process steel rolling

In a through-process hot steel rolling, the material moves from the reheat furnace to the rolling stands, and finally to the runout table. In this work, the pseudo-bond graph model has been developed to predict the temperature distribution in this process, which includes the study of essential temperature dynamics inside the material. For each section of the through-process rolling section, an individual pseudo-bond graph model has been developed, and finally those are connected to each other. By using this model one can predict the output temperature at the end of the runout table for a given set of input parameters at the entry of reheat furnace.
