"Modelling the Self-Heating of Steel Stockpiles" by Matthew Berry
Understanding the uncertainty of model parameters is crucial for building predictive models. Within the field of spontaneous ignition a slight variation in the model parameters can cause a significant variation in our ability to determine if ignition occurs. We consider this problem through an application to the steel industry. A byproduct of the steelmaking process is stockpiled where oxidation can induce ignition. The resulting ignition process sinters the filter improving the durability. Understanding this process requires careful modelling and consideration of the uncertainty in the reacti...
