In this paper, a numerical model of the thermodynamic process was developed, by using CFD (software) technique and considering the gas flow, the diffused combustion and the radiative heat transfer in the molten salt furnace. This model aims to optimize the operating parameters. Simulation results demonstrate that the performances of the salt furnace can be improved by optimization. The temperatures along the fire wall circumference are quite even, and the deviant combustion phenomenon is not observed. A back-flow formed in the upper part of the furnace chamber enhances the circulation and the mixing of the gas, helping to effectively stabilize the combustion in the furnace. The behaviors of CO, CO2, NOx and H2O are presented in terms of the gas flow, temperature distribution and volumetric concentration distribution. The furnace with the constant air flow rate of 15500Nm3/h and the angle of guide vane at 48∼50 ° can increase the combustion effectiveness.
