Mathematical Models for Energy and Resource-Efficient Management of Coke Ovens Considering Environmental Impact

The study analyzes the environmental aspects of the coking process, examines the current state of the coke-chemical industry, and formulates the problem of resource- and energy-efficient management of the coke oven battery considering environmental impact. A formalized description of the controlled obj ect and an algorithm for calculating the characteristics of the coking process have been developed. The paper presents a mathematical model of the static behavior of the coke oven battery, including calculations of material and thermal balances, hydraulic regime, and the amount of harmful emissions. An example of calculating gaseous emissions into the atmosphere is provided, implemented in the MS Visual Studio development environment using the object-oriented programming language C#.
