Abstract:

This paper presents a comprehensive mathematical model of transport phenomena which occur along a tuyere of the Teniente converter during injection of oxygen-enriched air. Inlet pressure, gas velocity and temperature, the dimensions of the tuyere, and the properties of gas are the basic data. From these inputs, temperature distribution of the refractory walls of the converter around the tuyere as well as the velocity, pressure, and the Mach number along the pipe can be calculated. In this model, the heat transfer through the metal jacket of the tuyere and the refractory lining are duly taken into account. More precisely, a mathematical model is developed where the equations of momentum and energy of the gas are coupled with the equations of heat transfer inside the solid part. This new model couples a partial differential equation in the solid part with four ordinary differential equations in the gas flow.
