摘要
对某钢厂180 t RH真空精炼装置浸渍管结构改造并增加底吹氩气功能,通过数值方法对新型侧底复吹真空精炼装置内气液两相循环流动进行了模拟,并与实验数据进行了比较。结果表明:数值模拟所得到循环流量值与物理模拟所得到的实验数据有较好的一致性;侧吹0.8 m~3/h、底吹0.6 m~3/h时,循环流量达到最大数值0.227 m~3/h,新型结构用较小的吹氩流量即可达到传统RH的循环精炼效率,具有重要的应用前景。
The gas liquid flow-field,in the 180 t Ruhrstahl Hearaeus( RH) furnace modified by introduction of bottom blowing of argon,was empirically approximated,mathematically modeled,numerically simulated and experimentally evaluated. The impact of both the side-and bottom-blowing flow-rates on the mixing time of liquid steel and argon,their average circulation rates,their 3-D velocity profiles,and RH refining efficiency was investigated. The simulated results show that the modified RH furnace outperformed the conventional one. For example,the new RH furnace decreased the mixing-time by 41. 29% to 39 s and increased the maximum circulation rate to 0. 227 m~3/h at a side-blowing flow-rate of 0. 8 m~3/h and a bottom-blowing flow-rate of 0. 6 m~3/h,indicating that the conventional RH refining efficiency could be reached at a much lower argon flow rate for a shorter time. The simulated and measured results were found to be in fairly good agreement.
