  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, a mathematical model has been developed to determine temperature distribution on the run-out table. The variational formulation and the finite element method have been employed to solve the governing conduction-convection equation. In order to avoid numerical instabilities due to the convection term, the heat transfer equation is first transformed to the standard form and then Raylieght-Ritz approximation technique and the finite element method have been utilized to solve the equation. To include the effect of phase transformation during cooling of steel, a second-order rate equation for describing austenite decomposition kinetics is coupled with the heat transfer model. A comparison is made between simulated and experimental cooling curves of a low carbon steel to verify the reliability of predicted results. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
