Residence time of metal droplets in slag-metal-gas emulsions through top gas blowing

A mathematical model for evaluating the residence time of metal droplets in slag-metal-gas emulsions through top gas blowing is proposed. The model is based on the equation of accelerated moving bodies in a moving fluid. The parameters used in the model are based on the available data from both room and high temperature experiments. Using the proposed model provides a formal way to extend the experimental results of the residence time of the droplets for an evaluation of the conditions in an industrial furnace. This connects theoretical understanding, experimental results and plant data in to a coherent and quantitative model of the process
