A Study of Scrap Heating by Burners: Part II—Numerical Modeling
Abstract
A computational fluid dynamics code was developed to model the heating of a bed of porous steel scrap by combustion gases from a burner. The code accounted for nonuniform void fraction in the bed; turbulent, non-Darcian flow, heat transfer from the gas to the scrap; and radiation. The measured bed porosity values were used in the code. Because steel scrap pieces are very irregular in shape and size, the effective particle diameter was fitted to …
