Analytical Evaluation of Heat Flow in Oxygen Steelmaking

Dynamic models for a BOF (Basic oxygen furnace) process have been developed to quantitatively capture the variation in refining kinetics and heat flow during the blowing period. Previous studies have developed extensive models to understand the kinetics and reaction mechanisms for a BOF process. The understanding of heat flow during the refining period helps in optimizing the process interms of energy consumption and minimizing the overall …
