Residence Time Distribution (RTD) Applications in Continuous Casting Tundish: A Review and New Perspectives

The continuous casting tundish is a very important metallurgical reactor in production. flow characteristics of tundishes are usually evaluated by residence time distribution (RTD) curves. At present, the analysis model RTD curves still has limitations. In this study, we reviewed curve models single and multi-flow tundish. We compared mixing modified combination for same time, multi-strand were analyzed. Based on obtained from water experiment, applicability various discussed, providing reference selection models. Finally, proposed based cumulative (F-curve). F-curve intensity can be used to analyze compare tundishes. dead zone calculation method also more reasonable. This provides new perspective study or other
