Abstract
For iron manufacturing, the blast furnace is a highly efficient but energy-intensive chemical reactor. Its primary purpose is to convert iron ore into liquid metal. The interior dynamics of a furnace was investigated computationally using fluent software in the current work. This article builds a knowledge base for defining multiphase through numerical simulation and validation utilizing experimental data and literature. In Fluent, created a multiphase cold flow blast furnace model. To examine the movement of liquid and gas through porous media created an experimental model. Different sizes of coke particles and different liquids were used in the calculations. The findings produced for the water model were very good. The pressure reductions over the bed were observed to diminish as the particle size grew. It was also noticed that when the molten metal reached the dead-man zone, it began to converge towards the raceway region. Temperatures in the blast furnace ranged from extremely high at the racetrack to extremely low near the top.
