Abstract

Induction smelting process, ISP, is a direct smelting process in which self‐fluxed composite pellets (made of iron ore, brown coal and lime) are melted in a single phase induction furnace in conjunction with top blown oxygen. A mass transfer model to predict the concentration of iron oxide, has been developed for this process. Transient mass balance equation with complex boundary conditions has been worked out by adopting a relatively new approach known as the cell model approach. These equations have been solved numerically using finite difference technique to obtain the iron oxide concentration profile in the induction smelting process. Numerical and experimental results obtained for the iron oxide concentration show a reasonable agreement with each other.
