Abstract :
Solidification model is developed based on control volume method for steel continuous casting process, which is nonlinear and non-differential, and parameters of convective heat transfer coefficient for each segment of the secondary cooling zone are ascertained, a new hybrid particle swarm algorithm (CPSO) is introduced to improve the optimizing performance by embedding the chaotic search in the particles swarm algorithm. It is used to identify the convective heat transfer coefficients according to billet surface temperature and shell thickness. Compared with the empirical formula method, it has a better agreement with trail data
