Liushun Wu: Study of slag droplet formation in a gas-stirred ladle using cold models
Droplet size, water model, tungstate-silicone oil model, ladle, semi-empirical model
Two cold models were employed to simulate the formation of slag droplets in a gas-stirred ladle. How do gas flow rate and interfacial tension between bath liquid and top liquid effect droplet size?
Further, a semi-empirical model was developed to describe the size of the droplets of the water model. What else can it be used for with reasonably good agreement?
