This contribution focuses on the development of Model Order Reduction (MOR) for one-way
coupled steady state linear thermo-mechanical problems in a finite element setting. We …

The safety and longevity of key blast furnace (BF) equipment determine the stable and low-
carbon production of iron. This paper presents an analysis of the heat transfer characteristics …

A long campaign life of the trough of the blast furnace (BF) is important for improving the BF
operation efficiency, reducing the cost of blast furnace ironmaking, and bettering the working …

A transient 3D CFD model is solved to investigate the features of the complex flow in a blast
furnace trough. Hot metal, slag, and air are considered as different phases of the flow. The …

Hot metal is loaded from the torpedo car to the ladle, where desulfurization is realized. The
main aim of the desulfurization process is to reduce the amount of sulfur in hot metal. During …

The temperature drop of molten metal flowing in open channels is numerically determined.
Rectangular, trapezoidal and triangular geometries are considered. The overall heat transfer …

Torpedo cars transport pig iron from the blast furnace to further processing. The possibilities
of measuring the pig iron temperature during its transport are limited; therefore, the paper …

Blast furnace operations are subjected to temperatures up to 1500º C, causing high thermal
stresses in blast furnace hearth walls. First, an axisymmetric isotropic homogeneous model …

Efficiency and sustainability in manufacturing are imperative for climate mitigation. Given the
significant production demand and energy consumption, the iron and steel industry is …

The research to make the manufacturing processes energy efficient and sustainable is
imperative. Given the significant production demand and energy consumption, the iron and …
