Description
Short description:
Examines gas flow behavior in the blast furnace, focusing on pressure profiles, reduction zones, and operational control for improved furnace performance.
Long description:
This module investigates the gas flow dynamics within the blast furnace, focusing on the interaction between ascending gases and descending burden materials. It outlines how gas flow distribution affects reduction reactions, heat transfer, and operational stability. Learners will analyze pressure profiles, permeability zones, and gas composition changes throughout the furnace shaft. The role of burden distribution, furnace geometry, and operational parameters in gas flow efficiency is explored using visual simulations and case scenarios. By mastering the principles of gas flow control, learners gain insight into optimizing reduction conditions and enhancing furnace productivity.
