Funded Activity Summary

Fundamental studies of physical and thermal processes around the taphole of an ironmaking blast furnace. This project will investigate the fundamentals governing the complex physical and thermochemical processes in the hearth of an ironmaking blast furnace by a combined theoretical and experimental program. Its aim is to develop and validate computer models that can describe reliably the gas-liquid-solid flow and heat transfer in the hearth, particularly near the taphole region. The models will be very useful to quantify the interrelationships among fluid flow, heat transfer and furnace refractory erosion, and provide a basis for developing better control strategies and extending furnace campaign life, leading to an improved competitiveness of Australia's steel industry.
