Physical and mathematical modeling of transient thermal and liquid flow inside a blast furnace hearth during the tapping period.

Abstract
The flow of metal inside the blast furnace crucible is important, and significant information has been missing from models of transient thermal and liquid flow during tapping. This work assesses the influence of deadman position, bed porosity distribution, productivity and draining hole length.
