Study of fluid dynamics and sulfur mass transfer between steel and slag in a ladle furnace considering drag and non-drag forces Antonio Urióstegui Hernández, PEDRO GARNICA GONZALEZ, CONSTANTIN ALBERTO HERNANDEZ BOCANEGRA, JOSE ANGEL RAMOS BANDERAS, JOSE JULIAN MONTES RODRIGUEZ, JOSE RAUL ORTIZ CASTILLO Dyna Spain, 2022 In this work fluid dynamics and a basic study of the sulfur transfer at the steel/slag interface in the ladle during argon gas agitation was developed. Mass transfer and chemical reaction models coupled with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) were employed. The multiphasic simulation was solved using the Eulerian model considering drag and non-drag forces, and the flow pattern was validated through Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. The sulfur transfer rate was tracked by two approximations: (1) unidirectional constant rate Mass Transfer Model (MTM), and (2) unidirectional constant rate Mass Transfer Model coupled with Chemical Reaction Model (MTM+CRM) using Arrhenius equation. It was found that including the non-drag forces affects the fluid dynamics structure. Otherwise, the desulfurization rates increase as the argon gas flow rate increases, finding that the MTM model predicts ~15% less sulfur in the steel than the MTM+CRM, whose results were compared with plant measurements reports.
Effect of the location of tracer addition in a ladle on the mixing time through physical and numerical modeling Mario Herrera-Ortega, José Ángel Ramos-Banderas, Constantin Alberto Hernández-Bocanegra, José Julián Montes-Rodríguez ISIJ International, 2021 In the present work, the release of tracer location on the global mixing time in an agitated ladle furnace by gas bottom injection was analyzed. Then, a numerical multiphasic steel-slag-argon-air system of a prototype with a capacity of 150 tons was carried out. The simulation was validated by using a physical model with a 1/6 geometric scale using colorant, KCl dispersion measurements techniques and open slag eye opening. Four different tracer addition locations were strategically established to study the influence of tracer releasing location on chemical homogenization. From the results, it was found that the measurement of mixing times varies according to the location of the tracer addition, which to a greater extent is conditioned by the convective currents that at some extent were related to turbulent viscosity.

Effect of Baffles on the Sloshing in Road Tankers Carrying LPG: A Comparative Numerical Study J. L. Bautista-Jacobo, E. Rodríguez-Morales, J. J. Montes-Rodríguez, H. Gámez-Cuatzín Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2015 This work presents a comparative numerical study of the effect of using baffles, and its design, on the behavior of sloshing in a partially filled road tanker carrying LPG. Navier-Stokes equations and standardk-εturbulence model are used to simulate fluid movement; the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is used to track the liquid-gas interface. Velocity distributions, sloshing stabilization times, and contours of turbulent kinetic energy, which are of high importance in choosing the best design of baffles, are shown. The results show sloshing stabilization times of 22 and 21 s for road tankers with cross-shaped (Type I) and X-shaped (Type II) baffles, respectively, finding lower values of turbulent kinetic energy for Type II design, being, therefore, the best design of baffles for damping of sloshing and vehicle control among studied ones.
Effect of the operating conditions of air-mist nozzles on the thermal evolution of continuosly cast thin slabs J.J. MONTES R., A.H. CASTILLEJOS E., F.A. ACOSTA G., E.P. GUTIÉRREZ M., M.A. HERRERA G. Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly, 2008 AbstractAbstractCommonly. the secondary cooling provided by air-mist nozzles is regulated by varying the water flow rate while maintaining constant air nozzle pressure. However, these cooling elements are more flexible since, as demonstrated in laboratory experiments, an increase in the air pressure, particularly from a typical value of 200 kPa to 250-400 kPa, causes a considerable increase in the boiling heat flux for a given impact water flux. Based on this finding, previous empirical correlations for the heat flux generated by air-mist nozzles impinging on hot surfaces were extended to include the effect of the air pressure. The correlations were then implemented into a transient 2-D heat conduction model to investigate the influence of new cooling conditions on the surface temperature and metallurgical length of the strand and ultimately on the possibility of increasing the casting speed, i.e., productivity. The model highlighted the potential of the new conditions and this was confirmed by plant results. Additional support to the usefulness of the correlations emerged from the accurate predictions that the model can achieve regarding the temperature evolution of the strand during transient operating conditions, such as during changes in casting speed, slab width, casting temperature and/or steel grade. The fact that the correlations did not need calibration emphasizes the importance of the appropriate characterization of spray and air-mist cooling to develop robust, flexible and accurate virtual casting machines for exploring and controlling the operation of real ones.Ordinairement le refroidissement secondaire avec pulvérisateur pneumatique est réglé en changeant le degré du flux d'eau mais en gardant l'atomiseur de pression d'air constant. Cependant ces refroidissements sont plus flexibles, comme démontrées dans les expériences de laboratoire, un accroissement dans la pression d'air, particulièrement de la valeur typique de 200 kPa a 250-400 kPa, produit un accroissement dans le flot de chaleur de l'ébullition pour un choc de flot d'eau donné. Basé dans ces découvertes, des corrélations empiriques pour le flux de chaleur généré par le pulvérisateur pneumatique qui entre en collision avec des surfaces chaudes étaient prolongées pour inclure l'effet de la pression d'air. Les corrélations étaient donc exécutées dans un model de conduction de chaleur transitoire 2-D pour étudier l'influence des conditions des nouveaux refroidissements sur la température de la surface et la longueur métallurgique du toron et finalement sur la possibilité d'augmenter la vitesse des brames coulées, i.e., productivité. Le modèle reflète le potentiel des nouvelles conditions et ceci a été confirmé dans les résultats sur l'industrie. Un appui additionnel de bonté pratique de corrélations surgit des prédictions exactes que le modèle peut exécuter de l'évolution de température du toron pendant les conditions transitoires d'opération ex. pendant le changement de la vitesse coulée, largeur des brames, la température des coulées et/ou le rang d'acier. Le fait que les corrélations n'ont pas eu besoin d'être calibrées, montre l'importance d'une caractérisation appropriée du refroidissement avec les atomiseurs d'eau pour développer des machines de coulée virtuelles, robustes, flexibles et précises. Ceci permettra explorer et contrôler l'opération en machines réelles.
