RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT & INNOVATION<br />
Five Spanish Universities join forces in Industrial<br />
Mathematics Program to solve various industry problems<br />
During the last fifteen years, Russula has collaborated<br />
with many universities to develop innovative technological<br />
solutions that generate knowledge and value to<br />
the products offered to our customers. With this idea<br />
in mind, Russula´s R& D department, participates another<br />
year in the Masters in Industrial Mathematics during<br />
2015.<br />
This master is formed by members of academic committees<br />
from 5 different universities in Spain. Three are<br />
located in the the Galician region, Santiago de Compostela,<br />
A Coruña and Vigo; and two in Madrid, specifically<br />
Carlos III and Polytechnic University.<br />
The goal of the M2i program is for participating engineers<br />
to face real problems in the industry and develop<br />
solutions through the use of specific software, theoretical<br />
applied analytics and appropriate design tools.<br />
Companies from the industry collaborate by proposing<br />
a problem and monitoring the progress of the project.<br />
Through this collaboration a two fold objective is<br />
achieved: first the engineer is exposed to similar problems<br />
that they may encounter in their professional future<br />
outside their academic envirnoment; secondly, the<br />
companies benefit from receiving a different<br />
perspective to the standard solutions that they are accustomed<br />
to implementing. In addition the participants<br />
in the Masters have at their disposal different analysis<br />
tools and software provided by the Universities.<br />
This is the second year Russula has participated in the<br />
Industrial Problems Workshop for 2015. In 2014, Russula<br />
presented three problems, two of which led to final<br />
projects for the master thesis. The three problems presented<br />
were:<br />
• Project 1 -3D modeling continuous tempering<br />
of steel bars in water boxes.<br />
• Project 2 - Creating a phenomenological model<br />
for convective transport of heat in the combustion<br />
chamber of a steel reheating furnace.<br />
• Project 3 - 3D modeling and simulation of the<br />
flow of escape gas in the billet reheating furnace<br />
combustion chamber.<br />
The results of the three projects were subsequently<br />
used for improvement parameterization in the cooling<br />
process of bars and modeling the behavior of reheating<br />
furnace results.<br />
In 2015, Russula paticipated again in the Industrial<br />
