Combination of predictive functional control and PID control of chamber pressure of industrial coking furnace is designed to over come the shortcomings of traditional PID controller in dealing with disturbance rejection and robustness.

The delayed coker furnaces with light insulating firebricks manufactured with US standard ASTM C155 have been running for 5 years without efflorescence,spalling,breaking and cracking.

The optimizing control in coke oven heating is realized.

In this paper,the coke oven is thought as a kind of hybrid systems, the coke oven heating intelligent adaptive control system is developed.

There are two types of mathematical models for feed-forward control of optimized cascade control of coke oven heating one for heating and another for combustion.

Changes of thermospheric mass density and their relations with Joule heating and ring current index during Nov. 2003 superstorm—— CHAMP Observations;

The heat transfer of the natural convection of horizontal micro-wire with different outer diameters is experimentally investigated by using the Joule heating.

Using the Joule heating,the wire is heated and its average temperature can be obtained exactly according to the relations between the wire resistance and the temperature.
