Model multiple firebox types.

Firebox radiation modeling uses either a simple “well stirred” model or a more detailed zone model. It supports cylindrical fireboxes with helical coils or vertical tubes; cabin or box heaters, with horizontal or vertical tubes, either refractory backed or as a single or double central row, and optionally with roof tubes. With Aspen Fired Heater, you can model process furnaces with single or twin cabin fireboxes.
