Mechanism of Deoxidation with Silicon in Inductively Stirred Liquid Steel

Alumina Inclusion Behavior during Steel Deoxidation

A computational model based on classic homogenous nucleation theory, thermodynamic analysis and numerical simulation, has been developed to study steel deoxidation by aluminum in a low carbon aluminum-killed steel ladle, which calculates the nucleation and time evolution of the alumina inclusion size distribution due to Ostwald ripening, Brownian collision and turbulent collision. Starting with...

A Study on Liquid-liquid Mixing in a Stirred Tank with a 6-Blade Rushton Turbine

The turbulent flow field generated in a baffled stirred tank was computed by large eddy simulation (LED) and the flow field was developed using the Sliding Mesh (SM) approach. In this CFD study, mixing times and power number have been determined for a vessel agitated by a 6-blade Rushton turbine. The predicted results were compared with the published experimental data. The satisfactory results ...

Phase Inversion in a Batch Liquid – Liquid Stirred System

"> Phase inversion phenomenon occurs in many industrial processes including liquidliquid dispersions. Some parameters such as energy input or the presence of mineral compounds in the system affect this phen...
