A glass production furnace requires a considerable amount of energy to allow the correct melting process. In this work, CFD model has been developed in order simulate convective flow movements within molten bath furnace. heat flux profile assigned free surface combustion process, and modelled with thermophysical properties variable temperature based on its chemical composition. The validated by...

Red scale defect is known to be mainly caused by net-like Fe2SiO4–FeO. In the present study, the morphology of Fe2SiO4–FeO in a Si-containing steel was investigated by simultaneous thermal analysis, high-temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Only liquid Fe2SiO4–FeO can form a net-like morphology. Liquid Fe2SiO4–FeO is c...

With a view to understanding the performance of blast furnace slag with high Al2O3 content, effects w(MgO)/w(Al2O3), w(CaO)/w(SiO2), and w(Al2O3) on melting (melting characteristic temperature heat) content were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) method. Experimental results indicate that end (Tend) for almost all slags has no obvious change increase w(CaO)/w(SiO2) will rai...
