Results and discussion
Simulations have been performed to show the effects of the thickness of the slag layer covering the steel, the effect of liquid steel temperature and the effect of the convection coefficient on the heat flow through the slag layer on top of the ladle.
For these simulations the following properties were used: thermal conductivity of 1.2W/moC and solid slag density 3800kg/m3 and liquid slag density 3700 kg/m3, specific heat 835 J/KgK, solidus temperature 167 deg.
Multiple regression analysis of the data obtained from more comprehensive simulations, suggests estimating the heat flux through the double layer of slag as: qs=*A*exp1+Bt+C in watts for t≥5 seconds A=6383+43.1*h-39*T-181*K B= -346.41-0.109*h+0.156*T C=62676-120*h+614*K+(80*T) where qs is the heat loss through the slag layer by mechanisms of conduction, convection and radiation, is the metal/slag area in m2, T is the liquid steel temperature in K, h is the initial thickness of the slag layer in m; K is the heat transfer coefficient in m2K; t is the time in s.
Heat losses through slag layer however depends on metal-slag interfacial area() , temperature(T), slag thickness(h), heat transfer coefficient (K) and time (t) and can be quantified by the correlation that resulted through multiple regression analysis of the data obtained from various simulations through the following equation.
