Operation of top-mounted oxygen-converter lances in critical conditions

The thermal and hydrodynamic operation of water-cooled tips on oxygen-converter lances is analyzed, in critical operating conditions. Attention is paid to the dependence of the tips’ operational life on the external and internal factors that determine the matching of the heat input and output at the...

Description
Summary:The thermal and hydrodynamic operation of water-cooled tips on oxygen-converter lances is analyzed, in critical operating conditions. Attention is paid to the dependence of the tips’ operational life on the external and internal factors that determine the matching of the heat input and output at the copper tip, as well as thermal-engineering and strength considerations.
