Flow Characteristics in a Blast Furnace Trough.

Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag

1. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is a by product of the steel industry. Blast furnace slag is defined as “the non-metallic product consisting essentially of calcium silicates and other bases that is developed in a molten condition simultaneously with iron in a blast furnace.” [1] In the production of iron, blast furnaces are loaded with iron o...

Discrete particle simulation of gas-solid flow in a blast furnace

Experimental observations revealed that the stagnant zone, which forms in the lower central part of a blast furnace, is an important feature of solid flow, and that it is affected strongly by gas flow. However, it is difficult to model this feature within the framework of continuum mechanics without empirical or arbitrary treatments. This paper reports the use of discrete particle simulation fo...

Java-based Integrating Simulator for Blast Furnace

The method of integrating many partial simulators for a complicated system in the consideration of interaction is proposed. Java Native Interface is used to integrate the simulators programmed in different languages. Remote Method Invocation is used to integrate the simulators in different computer environment. By applying the method to the partial simulators on the blast furnace, java-based in...

Blast Furnace Analysis with Neural Networks

Nowadays blast furnace operation is supervised by extensive measurements and controlled accordingly. Characteristic indications concerning process quality are given by the analysis of the radial temperature profile in the upper part of the furnace. Optimising this temperature distribution would lead to considerable savings of input material. To achieve an optimisation, quantitative relations be...
