Arc Steel Furnace Operation at Changing Working Space Aerodynamic Flows

Abstract:

Results of the design analysis carried out using computer software are presented for boundary data complying with the currently operating state-of-the-art arc steel furnace. Flow of natural gas combustion products and oxygen are reviewed for the radial and tangential burner arrangement in the working space between the wall and the electrodes. Location of high temperature fields is determined and the expected heat transfer to the charge materials through the active surface participating in heat exchange is evaluated. Precipitation degree is determined for the dust participating in scull generation on a wall water-cooled surface and significant reduction of dust effect on electrodes.
