A dynamic one-dimensional mathematical model was developed for predicting the thermal state of a steelmaking ladle. The is intended to be used in process control applications, which fast computational times are desirable alongside accuracy. calculation domain discretized using finite difference method, and time integration performed both implicit Euler Crank–Nicolson methods, performances were ...

Abstract: A pulse-echo technique, based on ultrasonic "long-bar" mode (LBM) velocity measurements, working up to 1700°C is described. Magnetostrictive transducers and ultrasonic lines used in a 40-85 kHz frequency range are detailed. The conditions of choice of fundamental parameters (frequency, line geometry, sample size) are discussed in relation with the nature and the microstructure of ...

Hazardous solid wastes may pose a serious risk to human health and to the environment, if not managed appropriately and disposed of safely. In this study, the effective stabilization of tannery sludge, a toxic industrial solid waste produced from the physico-chemical treatment of tannery wastewaters, was examined by the addition of ladle furnace slag (LFS), another industrial solid waste. Moreo...
