The prediction agrees with experimental data reasonably well. Accurency of prediction from the new model is comparable with the models reported in the literature. However, the new model has a potential capability to predict the average liquid recirculation velocity at elevated pressure bubble columns since n and c is developed under pressure. However this needs to be further tested experimentally.展开更多

With a feed rate of about 50 kg/h, the furnace has been used for investigating the technical feasibility of a variety of pyrometallurgical processes for smelting nonferrous and ferrous metals and for high temperature processing of solid wastes including electronic scraps, etc. The model was based on numerical solution of energy transport equations governing heat conduction in multi-layered linings in the sidewall, bottom and top lid of the furnace as well as convection and radiation of heat from the furnace outer surfaces to the ambient. Imperfect contacts between two neighboring solid lining layers due to air gap formation were considered. Temperature profiles were determined across the furnace bottom, top lid and three sections of the furnace sidewall, from which the heat loss rates through the corresponding parts of the furnace were calculated. The modelling results indicate that approximately 88% of heat is lost from the furnace sidewall, 7-8% from the bottom and 4-5% from the top lid. With increasing melt bath temperature, the proportion of total heat loss from the bottom decreases whereas that from the top lid increases and that from the sidewall is little changed. For a bath temperature of 1,300℃, total absolute heat loss rate from the furnace was found to be close to 12 kW.展开更多
