Abstract :
This paper deals with the development of a new model for the cooling process on the runout table of hot strip mills. The suitability of different numerical methods for the solution of the proposed model equation from the point of view of accuracy and computation time are studied. Parallel solutions for the model equation are proposed. The numerical methods discussed are the finite difference method, the orthogonal method, and the integral profile method
