| Abstract Scope |
Achieving good mixing conditions is of utter importance when operating a non-ferrous refining furnace in order to reduce the process time, guarantee stable process conditions and homogenize the melt sufficiently. The paper presents a way to characterize and compare the mixing efficiency of different nozzle and purging plugs arrangements using computational fluid dynamics modeling. Several arrangements of nozzles and tuyeres are compared in terms of their mixing efficiency. |
