Hydrodynamic Aspects on EAF’s Smelt Metallic Mirror
Abstract
Using the Physical and Mathematical knowledge, a new approach to EAF bath’s hydrodynamic aspects is proposed to be developed in this paper. Experimental results and a mathematical equation package have been concluded that the metallic bath mirror has a ondulatory surface during steelmaking process. The shape of slagmetal interface depends on resultant of wave interaction. A higher contact surface between slag and metal correlated with a good velocity of the melted material, lead to a better exploitation of EAF.
