Abstract
Experiments were conducted on the specific heat and thermal conductivity of a calcined dolomite briquette, a ferrosilicon sample, and a pre-reduction Pidgeon-processed briquette. The laser flash method was used in the measurement of thermal conductivity. Based on the results, a combination of the Series and Maxwell–Eucken 2 models was deduced to fit the effective thermal conductivity of a Pidgeon-processed briquette, which was demonstrated by an analysis of the briquette microstructure. In contrast to previous studies, the proposed study provided specific measured values of briquette density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity, which could be used in the calculation of the Pidgeon process. Moreover, this study offers new potential for the improvement of the numerical simulation accuracy of the Pidgeon process.
