Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics in Zinc quenching systems for steel sheets. Zinc temperature has large influence on the quality of outputs. Modeling results are compared for various flow rates of air coolant considering the conjugate heat transfer in the main parts of systems. It is found that average temperatures of air coolant in outlets are 107 ℃ and 263 ℃ for volume flow rates of 600 ㎥/h and 4,080 ㎥/h respectively.
