A STUDY OF HEAT TRANSFER AND FLUID FLOW IN THE ELECTROSLAG REFINING PROCESS by MANOJ KUMAR CHOUDHARY Submitted to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering on May 2, 1980 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Science ABSTRACT A mathematical model has been formulated to describe the electromagnetic field, fluid flow, heat transfer and solidification phenomena in electroslag refining systems. The formulation is based on the simultaneous statement of Maxwell's equations written for the MHD approximation, the equations for turbulent fluid flow in the slag as caused by both electromagnetic and natural convection forces (due to temperature gradients) and the differential thermal energy balance equations with allowances made for the spatial distribution of heat generation rate in the slag, for the moving interfaces, for the transport of heat by metal droplets falling through the slag and for the release of latent heat in the mushy zone. The effective viscosity and the effective thermal conductivity in the slag are calculated by using a two equation model for turbulence. The equations are first stated in vector notations and then simplified for an axi-symmetric cylindrical coordinate system. An outline of the computational approach is also included. The theoretically predicted pool profiles and temperature fields are found to be in reasonable agreement with experimental measurements reported in literature for a laboratory scale system. The predictive capability of the model makes it possible to relate the heat generation pattern, the temperature and the velocity fields, the casting rate and the pool profiles to the operating power and current, to the amount of slag used and to the geometry of the system.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION In recent years there has been a growing interest in the development of mathematical models for the representation of heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena in the electroslag refining process. While the earlier models concentrated on the calculations of pool profiles and temperature fields in the ingot, a more fundamental approach was taken in recently reported models where allowance has been made for the thermally and electromagnetically driven flow in the system. However, these latter models were primarily of theoretical interest because the shape and size of the molten metal pool had to be specified and because heat transfer in the mushy zone and in the ingot was neglected. The work to be described in this thesis represents an attempt towards developing a predictive model for flow and thermal characteristics of the ESR process. The model developed in this work seeks mathematical representations for the electromagnetic field, for the turbulent recirculating flow in the slag (due to both electromagnetic and natural convection forces) and for heat transfer with phase change. It therefore involves the simultaneous statement of Maxwell's equations, equations for turbulent motion and the differential thermal energy balance equations. The model is then used to make predictions for a laboratory 15. scale system reported in literature. The predictive capability of the model is utilized to investigate the interdependence of principal operating parameters. Regarding the organization of this thesis, it is divided into six chapters in the following manner: In Chapter 2,a literature survey is presented, which reviews mathematical models on ESR and on turbulent recirculating flow in metallurgical systems. The formulation of the mathematical model is given in Chapter 3. After discussing the basic processes involved and the assumptions made, the governing differential equations are first written in vectorial forms so that some general conclusions can be drawn regarding the behavior of ESR systems. Then they are presented in the cylindrical coordinate system with axial symmetry. Boundary conditions are discussed and some dimensionless parameters are derived. Numerical procedure used to solve the governing differential equations is outlined in Chapter 4. Computed results on current distribution, heat generation pattern, velocity and temperature fields and pool profiles are discussed in Chapter 5. these Wherever possible, results are compared with experimental measurements available in literature. Concluding remarks and some suggestions for further work in modelling of ESR process are made in Chapter 6. 16. Appendix A contains a brief note on phasor notation used for AC operation. Derivations of vorticity boundary conditions are discussed in Appendix B. Calculation of radiation view factors is outlined in Appendix C. The use of a temperature dependent electrical conductivity for slag is discussed in Appendix D and a listing of the computer program is presented in Appendix E. 17. CHAPTER II LITERATURE SURVEY The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the application of electroslag process in this country and in other industrialized nations. During the same period numerous papers dealing with both physical and mathematical modelling of ESR have been published. These models have resulted from a need to have a better understanding of the relationships among key process parameters so as to be able to devise effective strategies for controlling structure and composition of remelted ingots. Mathematical models for the ESR process can be classified into two groups -- (1) those dealing with physical phenomena such as heat transfer, fluid flow and solidification (i.e. thermal and fluid flow models) 1-22 22 and (2) those dealing with chemical and electrochemical reactions (i.e. 2 3-26 chemical models) 23-26. The review presented here is restricted to thermal and fluid flow models for this is the category into which the present work falls. From the point of view of mathematical modelling, the electroslag refining process represents a complex group of problems involving turbulent recirculating flow driven by electromagnetic and buoyancy forces, heat and mass transfer phenomena and phase change (both melting and solidification) with free boundaries. Because of the way ESR model described in this thesis has evolved, it appears 18. best to divide this chapter into two sections. The first section reviews mathematical models for ESR and the second section presents an overview of literature on the mathematical modelling of turbulent recirculating flows in metallurgical systems. 2.1 Mathematical Models for ESR Some of the earliest modelling work on ESR dealt with temperature distributions in the electrode. These involved the solution of one dimensional 2,3 or two dimensional 1,7 heat conduction problems with experimentally established boundary conditions. While these models were helpful in visualizing the relative magnitudes of various heat transfer mechanisms (i.e. conduction, convection and radiation) so far as the electrode was concerned, they could not provide insight into the local or the overall heat transfer rate between the electrode and the slag. The heat transfer coefficient between the electrode and the slag was, instead, used as an adjustable parameter to interpret measured temperature distributions in the electrode. Most of the early models on ESR 4-12,18 have concentrated on the representation of thermal field in the ingot. While these models may differ in the form (e.g. transient vs. quasi steady state) or in the type of boundary conditions chosen (e.g. specified flux vs. specified temperature at the slag-metal interface) or in the way the release of 19. latent heat is accounted for (e.g. adjustment of specific heat in the mushy zone vs. use of solidification models), the unifying themes behind these models are: 1) transport processes taking place in the slag are ignored with the boundary condition at the slag-metal interface being considered adjustable. 2) casting rate is used as an input to the model. and 3) an effective thermal conductivity is used to account for convection in the metal pool. These models then reduce to a set of heat conduction equations (with movement of slag-metal interface being accounted for) for the metal pool, for the mushy zone and for the solid ingot with appropriate boundary conditions. Some of these earlier models have been reviewed by Mitchell et al. 9 and by Ballantyne and Mitchell presented by Sun and Pridgeon Paton et al. 5,10 4 12 . The models , Carvajal and Geiger 88, Ballantyne and Mitchell 12 and Jeanfils 18 et al. 18 are transient in nature. While all these authors used the transient models to study the development of isotherms from the initial stages of remelting up to the attainment of quasi-steady state, Jeanfils et al. 18 also utilized their model to investigate the response of the system (as characterized by change in pool depth and mushy zone thickness) to specified changes (e.g. ramp, sinusoidal) in the melt rate. 20. 11 Elliott and Maulvault 11 noted that the thermal conditions in an ESR system became reproducible in time after the ingot had grown to sufficient length (e.g. about 2.5 times the radius of the ingot when casting steels and other metals with similar conductivities) and developed a quasi steady state model for calculating thermal field in the ingot. This reduced the dimensionality of the problem without seriously affecting the scope of the model. Furthermore, the numerical scheme chosen by Elliott and Maulvault 11 11 allowed for arbitrary grid configurations. This in turn enabled them to concentrate the nodes in critical areas without excessive grid requirements. Apart from being successful in the interpretation of experimental measurements on pool depth and on local solidification time in the mushy zone, these models 4-12,18 illustrated the influence of casting rate and the effective thermal conductivity on thermal fields in the ingot. Further- more many of these papers provided measurements which were needed for model validation. The inability of these models to generate predictive relationships among key process parameters such as power input, geometry, slag depth on one hand and melting rate, pool depth, width of the mushy zone etc. on the other hand stems from ignoring transport processes in the slag. The calculation of thermal fields in the slag necessitates the 21. solution of electromagnetic field equations in order to obtain the local rate of heat generation in the slag. Furthermore there is vigorous convection in slag. The driving force for flow is provided by both electromagnetic and buoyancy forces and the flow, in general, is turbulent. The use of a spatially independent effective conductivity will not provide a realistic representation of convection in the slag. Thus a predictive model for the ESR process will have to seek additional mathematical representations for the electromagnetic force field, turbulent fluid flow field and for convective heat transfer in the slag. This more fundamental approach has been taken in models published by Dilawari andSzekely 13,14,15, Kreyenberg and Schwerdtfeger 16 and Inoue and Iwasaki 21. A review of these recent models as well as a survey on measurements of temperature and electric potential reported in the literature have been made by Kawakami and Goto 17. The basic approach taken by the three groups of investigators is to first calculate the current paths for an assumed electrode melting tip shape (flat in references 13-16 and conical in reference 21) and then to solve fluid flow and convective heat transfer equations. Among these, Kreyenberg and Schwerdtfeger 16 16 considered fluid flow and heat transfer in the slag phase only while the other two groups examined the behavior of both metal and slag phases. 22. 16 The approach of Kreyenberg and Schwerdtfeger 16 necessitated an assumed temperature distribution at the slag-metal interface. This assumed boundary condition was found to have a strong effect on calculated flow and temperature fields in the slag. The formulation presented by Dilawari and Szekely 15 15 was particularly comprehensive since it allowed for the turbulent nature of flow (in both liquid pools) and accounted for heat transfer between the slag and the falling metal droplets. Although the models put forward 15 21 by Dilawari and Szekely 5 and Inoue and Iwasaki were of fundamental interest, their practical use was limited because the shape and the size of the molten metal pool had to be specified and heat transfer in the mushy zone and in the solid ingot was neglected. These models, therefore, could not be addressed to the metallurgically important question of how to relate the shape and the size of the metal pool and the mushy zone to the operating parameters. Furthermore, the arbitrarily assumed pool shape precluded a meaningful comparison of experimentally measured temperature profiles below the slag-metal interface with predictions based on the model. The work described in this thesis represents a significant step in our continuing efforts to develop a predictive model for ESR operations. The nature of the model, its scope and limitations are detailed in subsequent chapters. 23. Some applications of the model described in this thesis have already been published 19,20,22 Before closing this section it should be pointed out that some studies have been made 27,28 to calculate segregation in ESR by solving interdendritic flow and temperature fields in simulated ESR ingots. The latter paper, in fact, investigated the suppression of macrosegregation by rotating the ingot. In both these papers, no account was taken of motion in the metal pool above the liquidus isotherm and electromagnetic effects were either avoided or ignored. Recently, however, Mehrabian 29 and Ridder9 have extended their model to account for motion in the metal pool (laminar motion caused by natural convection) and have elaborated on the important influence of fluid motion inthe metal pool on solute redistribution in ingots. It will be a worthwhile exercise to combine some aspects of the model to be described in this thesis with models for calculating segregation so as to minimize uncertainties in specifying various boundary conditions in the latter models. 2.2 Turbulent Recirculating Flows in Metallurgical Systems Some of the recent models of ESR (13-16, 19-22) have involved the solution of turbulent recirculating flow. These models have benefited greatly from experiences gained with modelling of such flows in connection with various 24. metallurgical processes such as continuous casting (Szekely and Yadoya 30 30), argon stirring (Szekely et al. 34 34), deoxidation in the ASEA-SKF furnace (Szekely and Nakanishi 31 ), induction stirring and melting (Szekely and Chang 32, Tarapore and Evans 33 ) etc. It is to be noted that the computation of flow profiles in the latter two cases involved the simultaneous solution of Maxwell's and the Navier-Stokes equations. A growing interest in ladle metallurgy 37 opera- tions to achieve bath homogenization (with respect to temperature and composition), deoxidation, degassing, inclusion removal, desulfurization etc. is likely to enhance the application of transport fundamentals in these systems. A detailed review of mathematical and experimental tools available for the study of transport phenomena in agitated ladle systems has been presented by Szekely 38. The basic approach in the papers mentioned above has been to model the eddy transport terms through the use of an eddy viscosity (i.e. Boussinesq's proposal) which in turn is computed by solving additional equations. Unlike boundary layer flows or simple one dimensional flows where the spatial dependence of eddy viscosity can be given by an algebraic expression (e.g. mixing length hypo- thesis) or by a one equation model (which uses a differential equation for k, the turbulence kinetic energy and some suitable algebraic expression for 1, the length scale of 25. turbulence), turbulent recirculating flows, in general, require a two equation model (which uses two differential equations - one for k and another for some appropriate parameter of turbulence). Launder and Spalding 36 have reviewed various mathematical models of turbulence. Except Szekely and Yadoya 30 30 who used a one equation model, the rest of the papers listed above used a two equation model (Spalding's k-W model, where W is a statistical characteristic of turbulence). The computational algorithm employed in these papers used the Stream function-vorticity technique as detailed by Gosman et al. 39 39 Experimental proof for the predictions reported in these papers was in terms of tracer dispersion rates or in terms of surface velocities (for both laboratory and industrial systems) and thus was not very direct. Szekely et al. 34 34 measured velocity and turbulence kinetic energy in the water model of an argon stirred ladle. This study however was not conclusive because of the uncertainties regarding boundary conditions atthe gas-liquid interface and because of inherent experimental inaccuracies involved in determining low velocities using a hot film anemometer. 35 In a recent study Szekely et al. 35 have reported accurate measurements (using a laser doppler anemometer) of time averaged and fluctuating velocities in a system in which recirculating motion was created by a moving belt. 26. They also refined the mathematical model by incorporating wall functions to represent momentum transfer in the vicinity of solid surfaces. This refinement is all the more necessary because the transport processes taking place in the vicinity of bounding surfaces are usually of more A good agreement between measurements 35 and predictions is found in this paper. practical interest. In conclusion, it may be stated that while a great deal more work needs to be done to characterize gas agitated systems, the mathematical treatment of turbulent recirculating flows in single phases and for axial symmetry is relatively well developed and is supported by measurements made in both laboratory and plant scale systems. 27. CHAPTER III FORMULATION OF MATHEMATICAL MODEL In this chapter, a mathematical model is developed to describe flow and heat transfer phenomena in ESR systems. A brief description of the electroslag refining process is first presented so as to provide a clear perspective on the processes and components involved in the system. 3.1 Process Description A detailed technical description of the ESR process is available in literature 40 41 , . sketch of a typical ESR system. Figure 3.1 shows a As seen here a solid consumable electrode of the primary metal which may be cast or wrought or be composed of scrap is made one pole of a high current source plate is the other pole. (AC or DC) and a water cooled base A slag bath contained in the water cooled mold acts as ohmic resistance and the Joule heating produced in it melts the electrode tip. The metal droplets fall through the slag and collect in a pool on the base plate to solidify. The electrode is fed into the slag bath and the liquid metal solidifies progressively forming an ingot which now acts as the secondary electrode. An important feature of the process is that a slag skin is formed at the inner surface of the mold, which provides an electrical insulation separating the mold from the molten slag, the metal pool and the solid- 28. fying ingot. The most usual slag compositions fall within the system CaF 2 + CaO + A203 and fulfill the basic requirements imposed by electrical and thermal conductivity, high temperature stability and phase behavior. Refining takes place because of reactions between the metal and the slag in three stages: i) during formation of a droplet on the electrode ii) as the droplet falls through the slag, and iii) at the slag-molten metal tip pool interface. By suitable choice of slags, chemical and electrochemical reactions can either be encouraged or inhibited. 3.2 Summary of Basic Processes The basic processes taking place during electroslag refining can be summarized as follows: 1) media. Passage of electric current through conducting This gives rise to spatially distributed joule heating in the slag. The interaction between current and the induced magnetic field results in Lorentz forces which cause circulation in slag and in metal pools. 2) Heat transfer, melting and solidification. Convective heat transfer takes place in the slag and in the metal pool. Metal droplets extract heat from the slag and get superheated. molten metal pool. This superheat is released in the Heat transport in other portions of 29. I'-W 4 W 0 o 0 C-) LU -J LU 3.1 -J 0 Sceai wa: al- J J 0 0 0 0 a.

The electrode tip melts and solidification takes place in the mushy zone. Heat is removed through the mold by cooling water and there is radiative exchange of thermal energy between the free surface of the slag, the outer surface of the electrode and the inner surface of the mold. 3) Recirculation. There is recirculating motion in the slag and in the metal pool due to the combined effect of electromagnetic (Lorentz)and buoyancy gradients) driving forces. (due to thermal The fluid motion is, in general, turbulent. 4) Chemical and electrochemical reactions. This aspect of the ESR operation is not considered in the present work. The implications of ignoring chemical and electrochemical effects while modelling the thermal character of ESR are detailed in the next section. 3.3 Assumptions Made in Model The physical concept of the process model is sketched in Fig. 3.2 which shows the coordinate system and the assumptions made regarding the geometry of the system. The assumptions are as follows: 1) Cylindrical symmetry. 31. 2) Slag-electrode and slag-metal boundaries are represented by horizontal surfaces. planar The assumption of a electrode melting tip is thought to be reasonable for large scale systems 42 However, we have retained this assumption even for the small scale system considered in this work. Other key assumptions made in the model are as follows: wall. 3) Quasi-steady state. 4) The slag-metal interface is modelled as a rigid This is thought to be reasonable in view of the 42 modelling work reported by Campbell 2 5) Fluid flow equations are solved for the slag phase only. Motion in the metal pool is accounted for by using an effective thermal conductivity. an attempt is made to deduce this parameter from However, the cal- culated flow field in the slag phase. 6) In most of the calculations electrical con- ductivity of the slag is assumed uniform. However, in some calculations the temperature dependence of electrical conductivity of slag is approximately accounted for. 7) The effect of metal droplets on the motion of the slag is neglected. 8) Effects associated with chemical and electro- chemical reactions are not considered. There are two 32. aspects to these effects. The first is the influence of these processes on the nature of heat release in the slag and on motion of the slag. The second is the refining of metal as it is melted, passed through the slag, and collected in a pool at the top of the ingot. Since the present work is concerned with the flow and the thermal characteristics of ESR, the second aspect (i.e. refining) is not important here. It should be recognized, however, that even though the amount of matter involved in exchange reactions is quite small as compared to the total amount of metal being transferred from the electrode to the ingot, the thermal effects arising from concentration polarization and the enthalpy involved in various exchange reactions may influence the net heat supply rate in the regions of the slag near its interfaces withthe electrode and the metal pool. These, in turn, will affect the melting rate of the electrode and the depth of molten metal pool. 9) The interaction between the electromagnetic force field and the turbulent fluctuations is neglected in absence of satisfactory methods for treating it. 10) An insulating slag skin is assumed to form on the interior surface of the mold. Mathematical statements of these assumptions together with assumptions made in formulating the boundary conditions will be presented at appropriate places. 33.

Solution of these equations gives spatial distributions of current densities, Joule heat and Lorentz (2) forces. Recirculating flow in slag This is represented by the turbulent Navier Stokes equations with due allowance for body forces magnetic and natural convection). (electro- Turbulent viscosity is computed by solving two additional differential equations. (3) Heat transfer and phase change The mathematical statement of heat transfer penomena in the system is given by convective heat transport equations. The convection terms in these equations account for heat transfer due to turbulent recirculating flow in the slag and heat transfer due to movement of various interfaces. In the slag, allowance has to be made for Joule heat generation and heat extraction by metal droplets and in the mushy zone account has to be taken of the release of latent heat. 35. 3.5 Governing Equations for Flow and Heat Transfer Phenomena in the Electroslag Refining Process Equations mentioned in the previous section are now presented. First the vectorial forms of these equations are given in order that some general conclusions can be obtained and then the equations are stated in the cylindrical coordinate system with axial symmetry. 3.5.1 Maxwell's Equations Upon applying the MHD approximation, Maxwell's equations take the following form 43 43 aB (Faraday's Law) V x E = - (Ampere's Law) - - (3.1) a~t V x H = J (3.2) V - B= (3.3) V (3.4) J = Here, E is the electric field, Volt/m B is the magnetic flux density, Weber/m 2 Teslas) H is the magnetic field intensity, Amp/m J is the current density, Amp/m2 (or 36. t is time, s Furthermore, we have J = (E + V x B) (3.5) B = 0 (3.6) and Where is the electrical conductivity in /Ohm-m, %0 is the magnetic permeability of free space in Henry/m and V is the velocity of medium in m/s. In brief, the meaning of these equations is as follows: Eq. (3.1) relates the change in density to the induced emf. the magnetic flux Eq. (3.2) is Ampere's circuital law which relates the induced magnetic field intensity to current in the circuit. Eqs.

An assumption inherent in writing equations (3.17) and (3.18) is that the density variations due to temperature gradients are of importance only in 41. producing buoyancy forces and density p is supposed to be evaluated at the reference temperature T. 0 Following Boussinesq 45 , turbulent or Reynolds stresses can be computed using the same relationships which exist for viscous stresses in a Newtonian fluid but by replacing molecular viscosity of the fluid with a scalar turbulent viscosity. As mentioned in the previous chapter, turbulent viscosity is computed by using a suitable model of turbulence. In the present work a two equation model of turbulence, called the k - model 46 is used. Here k is the turbulence kinetic energy per unit mass and is the dissipation rate of turbulence energy. As pointed out by Launder and Spalding 46 , a wide variety of flows may be adequately represented by this model without adjustments to model parameters in the near wall regions. Also a comparison of the predictions of various models, with each other and with experiments has shown 4 6 the k - £ model to be surpassed only by more complex "Reynolds - Stress" models. for It should be noted, furthermore, that the equation contains fewer terms, the exact form of the equation can be derived relatively easily and that as an unknown in the equation for k.

Once X is calculated using one of the above equations, U t can be calculated as follows: Re d = (X - 0.75) 0.1 5 d which gives Redp Ut (3.71) dd 3.5.4C Rate of heat removal by droplets from the slag By assuming that heat transfer from the slag to a droplet can be characterized by a single heat transfer coefficient, h and an average temperature of the slag between the electrode tip and the slag-metal interface (TB), one can write the following equation for heat balance on a single drop: 4/3 rr d 3 id CP,d dTd d dt = h (TB - T d ) With the initial condition, t = 0, T = Tm 4 rd 2 (3.72) where, T is the temperature of the drop and Tme is the melting temperature of the electrode. The heat transfer coefficient, h can be estimated using the average velocity, Uav ( =L1/T ) of the droplet 11 in the slag, from suitable correlations 51 In the present work a correlation proposed by Spelles 52 52 is used. This correlation is given below: 56. hd - ( d = 0.8 K where 1/3 1/2 , K, Cp, i UP/ ) av (C /K) P (3.73) are respectively the density, the thermal conductivity, the specific heat and the viscosity of the slag.

As discussed in section 3.3, the slag-metal interface is assumed to be a rigid interface (3) At the free surface of the slag, the fluxes of momentum and turbulence quantities (k and ) are assumed to be zero. Since we use the vorticity transport equation, the above conditions have to be stated in terms of vorticity ( ) and stream function (4). Furthermore, boundary conditions have to be stated for k and £ as well.

(3.97) represents the convective exchange between the electrode surface and the ambient gas whereas the second term represents 66. the radiative exchange between the electrode surface, the free slag surface and the inner surface of the mold. In order to fascilitate the calculation of view factors, the slag surface is represented by a single temperature, T av which is calculated from the following equation: T s,av = 2Rm T(r,Zl)r dr 2 2 (R R ) m e (4) at z = Z 1, Re < r < Rm K 3Tt [T (3.98) (free surface of slag) Keff sk = 6s s 4 ' 4' - F T s,av m sm m F T 4 ] e se e,av (3.99) where T e,av is the average temperature of the dry electrode F sm is the view factor between the slag surface and the mold wall and F se is the view factor between the free surface of the slag and the dry surface of the electrode.

(9) at r = R - K m = hWi Z < 3- < Z -6 (T - T) (3.104) where i stands for interfaces between various media (i.e. metal pool, mushy zone, solid ingot)and the mold. hw i represents overall heat transfer coefficient at these interfaces. * Alternate expressions for these fluxes can be given by wall function approach discussed in the next chapter. 69. 3.7 General Nature of Solutions The mathematical statement of the model is now complete. Before presenting the detailed results, it is worthwhile to discuss the general nature of solutions. The governing equations (in vectorial form) for the system are grouped together in Table 3.1. 3.7.1 The nature of stirring Using Eqns. (3.10),(3.2) and (3.6), the electro- magnetic body force Fbe can be written as follows: Fbe = J xB j = =1 -1 (VXB)XB x 0 B B 2 ) + 1 (B.V) B V(2 I II x (i.e. curl) on the r.h.s. of Eq. Upon operating with (3.105), the first term vanishes. V [- (3.105) B ) = 0 i.e. (3.106) while in general, x (B-V)B 0(3.107) It follows therefore that the term I (called the magnetic pressure), cannot do any work on a circulating fluid and that the second term (II) is responsible for doing work. 70.

The inertial force in the equation of motion [Eq. (3.18)] can be written as 1- _ -I p(V.V)V = pl (VxV)xV + pV(2 (3.108) Introducing the definition of vorticity, = V xV (3.109) we can rewrite Eq. (3.108) as follows: p(~xV) = -pV( ) + (V.V)V (3.110) vortex force From Eqs. (3.105) and (3.110), the analogy between Fbe and the vortex force is evident. 3.7.2 Relationship between velocity and current Let us assume that the buoyancy driving force is small compared to the electromagnetic driving force (i.e. we operate with high current and with a small fill ratio) then Eqs. (3.18) and (3.19) can be combined to give: p(V.V)V = -VP - V. + J xB (3.111) where Pt represents the sum of static pressure and gravitational force. If the inertial forces dominate (i.e. at high Reynolds number) then as a first approximation we may neglect the first two terms on the r.h.s. of Eq.(3.111). order of magnitude of the remaining terms are: The 73. P 2 L O JX B where J JO x POOL (3.112a,b) is a characteristic current density of the system. From Eqs. (3.112a) and (3.112b) we can write 2 PVO 'L (3.113) i 21L 00 i.e. V 0 jO L Op which indicates that the characteristic velocity is proportional to the current. Figure 3.3, taken from Dilawari and Szekely 15 15 shows the effect of current on the velocity in the slag phase. As seen here, under the isothermal conditions (i.e. in the absence of buoyancy driving forces) the relationship between the velocity and the current is linear. 3.7.3 Heat input vs. energy for stirring From dimensional arguments it may be shown that: energy input for stirring energy input for heating - (J B).V 0 j2/ _ 0 J0 P0 LV0° 2 J0 ~~~~~(3.115a) (3.115b) 74.

This will generate parameters characterizing the behavior of the system. 3.7.4A Dimensionless form of magnetic field equation Let us introduce the following dimensionless variables: V = LV H = H/H 0 H 0 = I0/L (3.116) then the magnetic field equation (Eq.

Similarly, a group of other dimensionless parameters can be derived by considering the boundary conditions (e.g. Biot number at the ingot-mold interface). The dimensionless parameters developed here and their physical interpretations are summarized in Table 3.2. 3.8 Concluding Remarks A mathematical model has been formulated to describe the current distribution, fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena in the electroslag refining process. The model involves simultaneous statement of Maxwell's equations, equations for turbulent motion and convective heat transfer equations. The limitations of the model, in the form of assumptions made, are listed in section 3.3.

CHAPTER IV NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF GOVERNING EQUATIONS This chapter presents an outline of the numerical technique used for solving the differential equations developed in the previous chapter. After discussing the derivation of finite difference equations for the dependent variables,a brief treatment on the use of wall functions for representing heat and momentum transfer in the near wall regions is presented. The computational scheme and the computer program are discussed at the end of the chapter. 4.1 4.1.1 Summary of Governing Equations and Boundary Conditions Equations for magnetic field A A Let H0R and H8I denote the real and imaginary parts /%~~~~0 of H respectively, then Eq.

This transformation involves the following steps: 1) The domain of integration is represented by a two dimensional 2) (r,z) array of points called a grid. A set of algebraic equations is derived, from the differential equations and the boundary conditions, which connect the values of the dependent variables at the grid nodes (points of intersection of grid lines) 94. . i= .. ~ _ - _ Ii I I I _ Cd4 A I H I co 1 _vi (N rd m $4 M rc + (N M JIlk CJ2 m < "n m Ca0 a ;4 $4 I xI I I I I >0I I I I I0 I p> I I I xI hL) Ur I 4- 44 o I I 0 I I I I ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I I II !

The neighboring nodes need not be equally spaced. The finite -difference equations are derived by using the technique described by Gosman et al 39. A brief outline of this technique is presented with respect to the general elliptic equation [Eq. (4.6)]. The derivation of finite difference equations for the magnetic field intensity A (HeR,HeI) is analogous and only the final results will be given. Let us proceed by integrating Eq. (4.6) over the area enclosed by the small rectangle, shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 4.4, which encloses the point P. The sides of this rectangle lie midway between the neighbouring grid lines.

(4.15), (4.16) and (4.8) are valid for interior nodes. At the boundary nodes, the substitution relationships have to be derived using the boundary conditions shown in Fig. 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. These boundary conditions are of the following general types: = (1) 1 i.e. the value of the variable at the boundary is a specified constant. For example, w.r.t. Fig. 4.1, He = 0 (at r=0, 0<z Z6 ) I A H0 He 1 ( at r= R, 0 <-z < Z 2R0 e ) etc. etc. similarly w.r.t. Fig. 4.2 =k = e= 0 at all rigid boundaries and w.r.t. Fig. 4.3 TT = Tm = T T (2) e at z = Z 2, s at r = R atSR f(_i) = O< r< R - - e Z1 -3 1 -<z<Z 3 104. i.e. a functional relationship is specified among the dependent variables. The functional relationship f is such that it is possible to solve explicitly for a variable ijat the boundary node in terms of variables at the same and adjacent nodes. For example, w.r.t. Fig. 4.2 3(~ 0 - _- 1) ) 2 pr2(Z 0 rI ~I0 -II 2 E r K1 at z= Z,0<r<R - n where suffixes 0 and 1 refer to a grid node on the boundary and to the adjacent node in the z- direction, respectively. (3) where a8 is p + qF(~) = 0 the gradient, normal to the boundary surface. These boundary conditions contain statements for the flux, normal to the bounding surfaces. For example, the symmetry boundary conditions, i.e. 9k-= Dr 9E -= ~r 9T =- 0 ~r (p=l, q=0) fall in this class. Other examples are (w.r.t.

The rest of the boundary conditions need updating after every iteration. Boundary conditions (3) and (4) involve calculating first order derivatives in a direction normal to the boundary. The calculation is illustrated below: With reference to Fig. 4.5, let us suppose that AA' represents a boundary surface and that we wish to evaluate at node 0. Let 1 and 2 be adjacent nodes in the direction n 2. Let us denote normal to AA' and that 01 = n and 02 normal to A and that 01 = n and 02 = n 2 Let us denote gn 106. the values of at nodes 0,1, and 2 by respectively. 0, (1' and ~2 Assuming a quadratic profile for we can write (4.22) + an + bn2 = Then, 1 + f=0 + an (4.23) bn2 and 2 = ( From Eqs.

(4.8)] is that the transport properties of the fluid vary so little between grid points that its value at a point such as e in Fig. 4.4 can be given by the arithmetic mean of the values at P and E. b b,e Thus, b, + b ypU q,E 2 (4.29) It is known however that steep gradients of transport properties occur near the walls which bound a turbulent stream. In the immediate vicinity of the wall, the fluid 108.

The behaviour of the near wall region can be modelled either by using the low Reynolds number modelling method or by using the 46 wall function method . The latter method has been used It economizes computer time and storage and more widely. allows the introduction of additional empirical information in special cases, as when the wall is rough. A brief treatment of wall function method for turbulence quantities (k and the slag is given here. ) and for heat transfer in Fig. 4.6 shows the regions in the slag where wall function method has to be used. These regions which lie in the vicinity of various rigid walls are indicated by inclined lines and numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. Let us now illustrate the use of wall function approach A portion of the grid in this wrt region 1 in Fig. 4.6. region is shown in Fig. 4.7. Let us assume that region 1 represents a constant shear layer with the value of shear stress being equal to T W. Let n represent distance from the wall, in the direc- tion normal to the wall. Velocity distribution for this region can be written in terms of a "logarithmic law" 55 V + + - i ( En E n ) (4.30) 110. 4Ke -F Slag I 1_ '-O 4.6 Domains for wall function method. 4I- 111. n: W SW, - S Nw N P se !, .--- e Ne SEm E 6'.1 4.7 0 Illustration for wall function approach. 112. where K = von Karman's constant = 0.4 E = a function of wall roughness, approximately equal to 9 for a smooth wall V+ = V/VT = dimensionless velocity parallel to wall (z-direction for Fig. 4.7) V = friction velocity = TW/(PCdl/ 4 k 1/ 2 =n+ nV~ =V-, nT - dimensionless distance from the wall. For Eq. C1/4 pkl/2 n/Cd (4.30) to be valid, n larger than unity. For turbulent flow in a pipe, Pun and Spalding 55 suggest that n tions, TW tionship should be much > 11.5. Under these condi- can be evaluated by using the following rela- 55 = K Cd/ kp 1 V 2 /Zn [Ep/ k 1 2 /4V] (4.31) The source term for the turbulence kinetic energy, Sk can be written as Sk = G - D = T _v W n (3.28) - d d at ~It (4.32a) 113. = TWn = W p 2k 2 V ~ - Cd k(4.32b) n' 'rn W Near a wall, length scale of turbulence is porportional to distance from the wall and one can write 55 C 3/4 k 3/2/( C= p d (4.33) /(K 1) Let us now discuss wall function for the transfer of heat. By using the analogy between heat and momentum transfer, it can be shown 56 that the local Nusselt number Nu can be given by a relationship of the following type : Rex 1/2Cf Nu where ~~~x t {1 + 71/2 Cf (4.34) (/t 1) a} Re X is the local Reynolds number aF z is the Prandtl number of the fluid at is the turbulence Prandtl number Cf' is the coefficient of skin friction defined as and f 'a' l/2 Cf' = w/pV 2 is a parameter which makes an allowance for the transfer of heat through the viscous sublayer and depends on the ratio as/at' Eq. (4.34) is valid in the absence of viscous dissipation or any other source of heat and for a constant wall temperature. 114. The final expression for the local flux of heat through the wall shown in Fig. 4.7 can be written as 55 T /PV 2 w P q _s__ _ _ PCpVp(T with P = _ at -T N ) 9 (/% t - 1) ( + (4.36) PvTW/pVp2 '} zct)1/4 (4.37) The differential equation (4.6) is integrated over the area enclosed by the rectangle sw, se, Ne, Nw in Fig. 4.7. In the case of turbulence kinetic energy, diffusion through the wall is set equal to zero and source term is given by Eq. energy, p P (4.32b). Dissipation rate of turbulence is calculated by using Eq. (4.33). In the case of energy equation, heat flux through the wall is replaced by Eq. 4.4 (4.36). Solution Procedure The governing differential equations and their boundary conditions have now been converted into a set of algebraic equations. These equations will now have to be solved by an iterative technique. The solution procedure used in this work is the Gauss-Seidel method and uses successive substitution as compared to the "block-methods" which use matrix inversion techniques. Among the point methods, the Gauss-Seidel method is known to yield rapid convergence and is efficient from the view point of 115. computer storage 39 . In the following subsections, the computational flowsheet will be provided together with a description of the computer program. 4.4.1 Flowsheet for computation The equations for magnetic field intensity [Eqs. (4.1), (4.2)] are first solved to calculate the electromag- netic driving forces and the spatial distribution of the Joule heating rate. This involves using Eqs. (4.15) and (4.16) to update the values of H R and HaI at the interior nodes and to use algebraic equivalent of boundary conditions to update the values at the boundary nodes. After convergence is obtained, the spatial distribution of current densities and the volumetric Joule heating rate are calculated using Eqs. (3.14 a,b) and (3.16). Next, the dependent variables for flow and heat transfer k, -, r , , and T are taken up in the order indicated here. The procedure adopted can be summarized as follows: (1) Each cycle of the iterative procedure is made up of IV subcycles where IV is the number of dependent variables. (2) In each sub-cycle the domain of integration is scanned row by row and a single variable is updated. If the node being considered is an interior node, Eq. (4.8) is used; otherwise, the appropriate substitutional formula for the boundary node is used. 116. (3) When all of the sub-cycles have been completed, a new iteration cycle is commenced. (4) The procedure is repeated until the changes in the values of the variables between successive iterations are less than a small specified quantity. A simplified conceptual flow chart of the computational scheme is shown in Fig. 4.8. 4.4.2 Introduction to computer program In this subsection a brief description of the computer program is given. The program was developed by following the outlines of the basic computer program published by Gosman et al 39 . However, extensive modifi- cations and additions had to be made to tailor it for the present purposes. The program is subdivided into a number of subroutines, each one designed to perform a specific task. The listing of the computer program is given in Appendix E. The main features of this program are outlined in Table 4.2 which gives the names and the functions of various subroutines. 4.4.3 Stability and convergence problems The search for a solution to the mathematical problem posed in Chapter III is based on the premise that the model describes the physics of the system adequately and that the set of differential equations together with 117. \0 _~~ SU-~tjP P 7 I ~TA .1 COMPUTE & STORE GRID PTS.

PRINT Prints out calculated results. 122. their boundary conditions constitute a complete and a well-posed problem. Even when these conditions are ful- filled it requires a great deal of numerical experimen- tation to ensure that the solution procedure converges to the "correct" solution. Another important aspect of the solution procedure is the speed of convergence, since the computation time has to be realistically limited. A discussion on the factors which may influence the convergence, accuracy and the economy of the procedure is 39 given by Gosman et al The computer program described earlier has evolved in stages and has involved considerable numerical experimentation. Following the practice in literature, the method of under-relaxation is used to reduce the chances of instability. If (N-1) is the value of the variable calculated in the (N-l)th iteration and (N) is the value which would be computed in the Nth iteration, then the value which is actually used in iteration N is computed from: = where aUR aUR (N) + (1 UR - aUR) UR (N-1) ~~~~~~~(4.38) (4.38) is called the under-relaxation parameter and is a number between 0 and 1. However, the rate of conver- gence of an iterative solution procedure can sometimes be 123. improved by over-relaxation 39 . Mathematically, over- relaxation can be represented by an equation analogous to the above equation, i.e., = where OR OR (N) + (1 - OR) (N-(4.39) ' the over-relaxation parameter, lies between 1 and 2. During numerical experimentation, the magnetic field equations were found to be very well behaved and over-relaxation was found to greatly enhance the rate of convergence. For the laboratory scale system discussed in the next chapter, for Hei 6 aOR = 1.5 for K8R and OR = 1.2 were found to give the optimum convergence rate. In the case of other dependent variables k, , T), (-, I, r over-relaxation for the stream function and under- relaxation for the rest of the variables was found to be the best practice. The attempt to over-relax the vorticity equation lead to divergence. To observe the convergence rate, two different criteria for convergence were employed. In one following 39 Gosman et al 39, the maximum fractional change of in the field was dictated to be less than a prescribed value, i.e.; 124. [( f [(N) - Usually e )/( (N)]max 3mx< (N-1))/ £1 (4.40) (4.40) has been set in the range of 0.001 to 0.005. It sometimes happens that when the value of a variable at a particular node is much smaller than the values at surrounding nodes, fluctuations, in the small value will occur which are unacceptable by the above criterion, even though the rest of the field has converged. In this case an alternative criterion used by some other authors 32,3 was employed.

CHAPTER V COMPUTED RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The model developed in Chapter III is now used to make predictions on the flow and thermal characteristics in an ESR system. Computed results presented in this chapter show typical temperature and velocity distributions and pool profiles as well as the interdependence of key process parameters, with the power input, fill ratio, amount of slag used and the position of the electrode as the independent variables and the casting rate, pool depth, velocity and temperature fields as the dependent variables. Wherever possible these predictions will be compared with experimental measurements available in 57 the literature 57 5.1 Description of the System Chosen for Computation The experimental results, to which the predictions will be compared, are those reported by Mellberg 5 7 who studied the electroslag remelting of ball bearing steels in a laboratory scale system, using electrodes of 0.057 m diameter and a stationary water cooled copper mold of 0.1 m internal diameter. Remelting was done with alternating current and the mold was electrically insulated from the base plate. The electrode composition is given in Table 5.1 and the remelting parameters are given in Table 5.2. 130.

P , in order tokeep the equation for magnetic field intensity decoupled from the flow and heat transfer equations, the model uses average values for the electrical conductivities of slag and metal. However, in some of the calculations an approximate allowance has been made for the temperature dependence of electrical conductivity ofslag. In the absence of specific information on the temperature dependence of properties for the system being modeled, it was decided to perform calculations with constant values for the properties. Physical property values used in the computation are listed in Table 5.3. The liquidus temperature, the density and the viscosity of the slag were estimated from data reported in reference 40 and its electrical conductivity was estimated from compilations made by Hajduk and E Gammal553. In the absence of better information, values for the specific heat, the thermal conductivity and the coefficient of volume expansion of the slag were taken the same as those used by Dilawari and Szekely 15 . The liquidus and the solidus temperature of the metal were given by Mellberg5 7 Values for the other properties from taken Dilawari and Szekely 15were and from from Elliott Elliott were taken from Dilawari and 133. 11 and Maulvault 11. These values apply for pure iron or for intermediate carbon steels. The value for atomic thermal conductivity of molten metal was taken to be half of that for solid metal. The dimensions of the system and the values for other parameters appearing in the model are shown in Table 5.4. £ The values for the constants C 1 , C21 C d ' ok, of the k - and Spalding model are those recommended by Launder 46 . These recommendations were made on the basis of extensive examination of free turbulent flows. However, one must be aware that these are not universal constants and may change in different situations. The value for the convective heat transfer coefficient between the electrode surface and the ambient was suggested 2 to be 17.2 W/(m2K) by endrykowski et al 33 From experi- mental measurements, Maulvault 77 calculated this to be in the range A value of 25 W/m 2 K was 19 - 32 W/m2 K. chosen for the present case. Values for heat transfer coefficients below the slag-metal interface were deduced from suggestions made by Elliott and Maulvault 11 11 and Ballantyne and Mitchell 12 . As seen in Table 5.4, below the slag-metal interface, heat removal by cooling water is represented by three heat transfer coefficients. Instead of using discontinuous values for heat transfer coefficient, as has been done here, it will certainly be 134.

The evaluation of the parameter A which appears in Eq. (3.44) remains to be discussed. (3.44), ( 1 + As seen from Eq. A ) represents the ratio of effective and atomic thermal conductivities in the metal pool. In the present work an attempt has been made to link this parameter to operating conditions by evaluating it from the computed flow field in the slag. Calculations were carried out for turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer in both the slag and the metal pool for the conditions when the shape of the metal pool was assumed cylindrical and its size predetermined. This approach is analogous to the one taken by Dilawari and Szekely 15 . A typical result on the compu- ted ratios of effective and atomic thermal conductivities in both the slag and the metal pools is shown in Fig. 5.1. This figure represents computation for an operating current of 1.7 KA and for an assumed metal pool depth of 0.03 m. Calculations like these indicated that the average ratio of the effective and atomic thermal conductivities in the metal pool was about one third of the corresponding ratio for the slag pool, i.e. K~ ~ ~ ( = 1 + A mZ ~KmQ~3 1 ( eff) KK avg (5.1) 139.

An attempt such as Eq. (5.1) appears crude at best and it is entirely possible that the value of the coefficient in this equation would differ from the value of 1/3 used in the present instance for different geometries and for much different current levels. Furthermore, according to the scheme chosen here, we only account for the mixing or dispersive action of turbulence in the metal pool, and the convective term in the equation for heat transport is still unaccounted for. These criti- cisms can not be taken care of unless the model is extended to calculate fluid flow in the metal pool. In the mean time, however, it does appear more reasonable to calculate the effective thermal conductivity in the metal pool from the model itself (albeit in an approximate manner) than selecting it to give a better agreement with the experimental measurements. For the results presented here, calculated values for A fell in the range 5.3 0.7 - 3.4. Computational Details The numerical scheme outlined in Chapter IV was used to solve the governing equations.

( z-direction ) and 12 J-lines While the spacing between the J-lines was kept the same in all the computations reported here, spacing between the I-lines was adjusted for various cases to concentrate nodes in the critical areas. The computa- tions were carried out using the IBM 370 digital computer at MIT; the time interval involved in the computation was in the range of 100-200 seconds. 5.4 Results and Discussions A selection of computed results on the electro- magnetic aspect of the process is first presented and then results for the flow and thermal aspects are given. In the following discussions ingots 15 and 17 refer to operations with 1.7 kA and 1.55 kA (both rms values) respectively. 5.4.1 Computed results on electromagnetic parameters Fig. 5.3 shows the radial distribution of the magnetic field intensity in the slag and in the metal calculated at different axial positions and for an operating current of 1.7 kA (rms). Curves 1 and 2 refer to calculations for the slag at vertical positions, 0.016 m and 0.044 m below the electrode respectively. Curves 3 and 4 refer to calculations for the metal at positions, 0.045 m and 0.22 m below the slag-metal interface 143. 8 77 -5 co ILl w 0 .'

As seen in this figure, the radial distri- bution of the magnetic field intensity in the metal is linear and the distributions at the two locations are identical. This implies that the current in the radial direction is negligible and that the axial component of the current is distributed uniformly across the cross section (with a density of 216 kA/m2). In the slag, as can be inferred from curves 1 and 2, the radial component of current is finite and becomes small as the slag-metal interface is approached. This is readily seen in Fig. 5.4 which shows the current density vectors (length of a vector represents the rms value of current density) in the slag. The current path diverges in the vicinity of the electrodeslag interface but it becomes almost parallel as the slag- metal interface approaches. Fig. 5.5 shows the radial distribution of volumetric Joule heat generation rate in the slag for the same two axial positions as in Fig. 5.3 (i.e. 0.016 m and 0.044 m below the electrode). In the vicinity of the slag-electrode interface, heat generation rate is quite high and the distribution is non-uniform. As is to be expected from the discussions given in connection with previous figures, the radial distribution of heat generation rate becomes uniform when the distance from the slagelectrode interface increases.

This is to be expected since the volume of slag below the electrode is larger in this case. The different heat generation patterns in the two cases will lead to different temperature distributions in the slag. This will be examined subsequently. Fig. 5.7 shows the effect of the amount of slag used on the heat generation rate in the slag. Once again the solid lines represent the results already described in Fig. 5.5 whereas the broken lines represent calculations for a higher amount of slag former case).

As seen here, the larger volume of slag in the second case gives rise to a lower volumetric heat generation rate in the slag. Based on a uniform current distribution over the entire cross section of slag, the volumetric heat generation rate is 1.32 x 105 kW/m 3 with 1.9 kg of slag as compared to the other case. for operation 1.87 x 105 kW/m 3 for For both the lower electrode penetration depth and the larger amount of slag used, the resistance of the system was found to increase in accordance with 2 the operating experience 6 62 Fig. 5.8 shows the effect of fill ratio (cross sectional area of electrode/c.s-area of mold) on current distribution in the slag. The solid lines denote calcu- lations for an electrode radius of 0.0285 m (Re1 ) whereas the broken lines represent calculations for an electrode radius of 0.015 m (Re2 ). The mold radius in both the cases is 0.05 m and the total current in each case is 1.7 kA. As in the case of previous figures, 1 and 2 denote vertical positions 0.016mand 0.044 m below the electrode-slag interface. In the vicinity of the elec- trode and directly below it, there is an appreciable difference in the current density in the two cases with the lower fill ratio case having a much larger current density. The difference narrows as the radius increases.

This effect of the fill ratio will be examined subsequently. As the slag-metal interface is approached, the current density tends to be uniform and the difference in the two cases becomes small. Another effect of the reduced fill ratio is that the "effective cross section" for the passage of the current decreases, thereby increasing the electrical resistance of the system and the heat generation rate. Thus the total power input for the case with 0.015 m electrode radius (fill ratio = 0.09) is calculated to be 94 kW as compared to 73 kW for the case with 0.0285 m electrode radius (fill ratio = 0.32). The experimental observation of this effect is reported in the literature 61, 62. Before closing this subsection, it should be noted that the computed current distribution and the heat generation pattern, and consequently fluid flow and temperature distrubution, will depend on the assumed shape of the electrode tip and on the assumptions made regarding the boundary conditions (e.g. insulating slag skin on the inside wall of the mold , the presence of a solidified slag crust on the submerged vertical wall of the electrode). As mentioned in Chapter III, the model developed in this work assumes a flat melting tip for the electrode and an insulating slag skin on the interior surface of the mold. The latter assumption is in accord with observations made 153. in literature 40 The assumption of a flat melting tip is made for computational convenience and ideally the shape of the electrode tip should be calculated using the mathematical model itself. However, this refinement to the model can only be accomplished if a more realistic understanding is developed of the melting process. This will require both experimental and analytical work. The effect of a solidified slag crust on the submerged, curved surface of the electrode will be analogous to the effect of a reduced fill ratio since the effective c.s.area for current will decrease. Then, from discussions given in connection with Fig. 5.8, for the same total current, power requirement will be higher for this case and the current distribution will be less uniform. From the preceding discussions, the presence of a solidified slag crust on the electrode will be expected to increase the velocity in the slag. These observations are confirmed by calculations reported by Dilawari and Szekely 14,59 5.4.2 Computed results on fluid flow and heat transfer Results will now be presented for the temperature and velocity distributions in the system. Computed re- sults on the temperature distribution will be compared with the limited measurements available. 154. It is noted that most of the calculations were carried out using a constant electrical conductivity of the slag. In some calculations, however, an allowance has been made for the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of the slag. The modifications required to the governing equations in order to accomplish this are discussed in Appendix D. Fig. 5.9 shows a comparison between the experimentally measured axial temperature profile at a radial position r = 0.025 m and those predicted from the model. The discrete data points denote measurements, the broken line denotes predictions for the condition where the experimentally measured casting rate was used as an input to the model. The two solid lines denote predictions for the condition when the casting rate was computed from the model; curve I refers to calculations using a uniform electrical conductivity in the slag while curve II refers to calculations using a temperature dependent electrical conductivity in the slag. As discussed in Appendix D, temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity used in the calculations was deduced from experimental measurements reported by Mitchell and Cameron 60 in both the cases is kept the same (73 kW). Power input It is seen that measurements correspond to a steeper axial temperature gradient in the vicinity of slag-metal interface than that 155. ^f% 0 0 aL- w -2 0 2, 4 6 8 DEPTH FROM SLAG-METAL INTERFACE, cm 5.9 Computed and measured axial temperature profiles for ingot 15 - (rms current= 1.7 kA) at r = 2.5 cm; I casting rate (Vc) calculated from the model c uniform electrical conductivity in slag II temperature dependent electrical conductivity in slag --- experimentally measured value of V (0.74 m/hr) input as an to the model cused used as an input to the model C measured values from lMellberg 57 156. exhibited by the calculated results. This, as pointed out by Melberg, may partly be due to inaccuracies involved in experimentally defining the zero position. In general, all three curves shown in Fig. 5.9 provide a reasonable representation of the data points below the slag-metal interface. Curve II provides a somewhat better agreement with measurements primarily because in this case, calculated casting rate (0.7 m/hr) in the metal pool and effective thermal conductivity (27 W/mK) are lower than the corresponding values for case I (casting rate = 0.76 m/hr, effective thermal conductivity in metal pool = 30 W/mK). One important derived quantity in these calculations is the radial temperature distribution at the slagmetal interface. Since there is not much difference in the three cases cited in Fig. 5.9, only the distribution for case I is discussed. This is shown in Fig. 5.10. As seen here there is quite an appreciable radial variation in the temperature (about 225°C in the present case). It is noted that several authors, when modelling pool profiles and the temperature fields in the ingot, used the temperature at the slag-metal interface as an arbitrarily adjustable boundary condition. The choice of this boundary condition may be critical, because this represents the coupling between the heat source in the slag and the heat transfer processes that take place within the ingot. 157. 170 W 0 w O Ww z t- 160 Ld wC3 en -J I) 0 150' U H_ 140( 0 I 2 3 4 5 RADIUS, cm 5.10 Computed temperature distribution at the slag-metal interface for ingot 15. 158.

Here, Zn( T max ) is shown plotted against T -T min ~max rA~ n(~-) where T and T are the maximum (1675°C) and RM max min m the minimum (1450°C) temperatures respectively and Rm is the radius of the mold.

Fig. 5.12 shows the computed solidus and liquidus isotherms for the three cases that were represented in the previously given Fig. 5.9. Also shown, for the sake of comparison is a sulfur print reported by Mellberg, for corresponding operating conditions. It is seen that the sulfur print falls between the solidus and the liquidus curves, as one would expect. As before, curve II which represents computation with a temperature dependent electrical conductivity in the slag gives a closer agreement with the experimental measurements.

Here again the solid line repre- sents the predictions for a condition, when the casting rate was computed, while the broken line corresponds to predictions, where the experimentally determined casting rate was used as an input for the model. It is seen once again that there is reasonably good agreement between the measurements and the predictions below the slag-metal interface. The computed liquidus and solidus isotherms for these two cases are shown in Fig. 5.14. pose of Also given for the pur- comparison are some of the measured locations of the isotherms. It is seen that the solidus and the liquidus lines predicted by the two techniques are comparable, and that there is a somewhat better agreement between measurements and predictions for the case in which the casting rate is calculated from the model (0.64 m/hr vs. measured value of 0.62 m/hr). Fig. 5.15 shows the computed isotherms in the slag for ingot 15. The solid lines represent calculations with a uniform electrical conductivity of the slag while the broken lines represent calculations with a temperature dependent electrical conductivity. As seen here, the latter case gives a lower maximum temperature (1787 C vs. 1832 °C for the former case) with a little more uniform distribution. This is as expected since the electrical conductivity of the slag increases with temperature. It is seen that the 163. U 2 E c.) a 3W L C) Q: lc LI 4 Fz _1 5 6 W E !l _J CO -J Cf)I E 0 CC r F7 0. .

It has to be stressed that at the surface of the electrode the temperature in the slag must equal the melting point of the electrode material, hence the positive axial temperature gradient in the immediate vicinity of the electrode. This positive axial temperature gradient is also consistent with the physical requirement that thermal energy has to be transferred from the slag to the electrode. It should be noted that the temperature profiles depicted in Fig. 5.15 result from the combined effect of Joule heating and the convective fluid flow field in the slag phase. If convection had been neglected, one would have obtained unrealistically high temperatures in the vicinity of the electrode surface. An important effect of this convection, readily seen in Fig. 5.15, is the quite uniform temperature field in the central core of the slag; indeed, most of the temperature gradients appear to be confined to the vicinity of the wall. This knowledge of the temperature field is of course quite important, if we wish to represent chemical reactions between the droplets and the slag, that may be temperature dependent. 166. Fig. 5.16 shows the effect of electrode penetration depth in the slag on the isotherms in the slag. The isotherms shown here are computed for an electrode penetration depth of 0.01 m. The amount of slag used (1.5 kg), the input power (73 kW) and the value used for the effective thermal conductivity in the metal pool (30 W/mK) are the same as in the case of Fig. 5.15. Comparing Figures 5.15 and 5.16 reveals that the temperatures in the bulk portion of the slag below the electrode are somewhat reduced when a lower electrode penetration depth is used (maximum temperature 1807 for the other case). C vs. 1832 °C This is to be expected from the discussions given in connection with Fig. 5.6 where it was shown that a lower penetration depth resulted in a lower volumetric heat generation rate in the bulk portion of the slag. Also the casting rate is now reduced (0.61 m/hr vs. 0.76 m/hr for the other case). As is to be expected from the discussion given in connection with Fig. 5.9, the agreement with measured temperatures below the slag-metal interface was somewhat better. However, the temperature profiles in the ingot are not shown here, for the sake of brevity. Although the immersion depth of the electrode appears to have an important effect on the casting rate and hence on the position of liquidus and solidus iso- therms, its effect on the temperature and velocity in 167.

Also, it should be noted that in practice, the immersion depth of the electrode is determined by the process itself. However , this aspect of the ESR process is yet to be modelled. In the next few figures, calculated results on the flow and turbulent mixing in the slag are discussed. Fig. 5.17 shows the calculated stream lines in the slag for ingot 15. Computed velocity vectors in the slag are presented in Fig. 5.18. It follows from the discussions given in Chapter III that there are two principal forces that drive fluid motion in the slag -- the electromagnetic force field which in the present case would tend to generate an anti-clockwise circulation pattern and the buoyancy force field, which would tend to generate a clockwise circulation pattern in the bulk of the slag. It is seen in Figs. 5.17 and 5.18 that for the case considered, buoyancy forces tend to dominate in the bulk of the slag, producing a clockwise circulation pattern. The anti- clockwise circulation pattern in the annular space between the electrode and the mold results from the combined effects of buoyancy and electromagnetic forces (if buoyancy forces alone acted in the region one would obtain two circulating loops, as caused by a hotter fluid being located between the two cold surfaces, viz the electrode and 169 E U ULU 0 IIL F0A LU MD 0 1 2 3 4 5 RADIUS, cm 5.17 Computed streamline pattern in slag for ingot 15. 170. -OI I- U ct--I UU·IIII- ELECTRODE \ --- 2 cri/sec / -- E -~ ---- I j/7 / lo --- / I/ I P / i _J 1) ¢D v.)

The absolute magnitude of the velocities calculated for the system, viz 0 - 5 cm/s are comparable to computed values reported in earlier papers describing fluid flow in ESR process 13-15 The circulation is an important characteristic of ESR systems and it would be desirable to define the conditions under which either the electromagnetic or the buoyancy forces dominate the flow field. By dimensional arguments it may be shown that the following group may be used to define the nature of the circulation: - 2 -_~ 4TA Lp e where A e and A m Ae (1 - Am) (5.3) gAT are the cross sectional areas of the electrode and the mold respectively, L is the depth of the slag below the electrode, and I is the rms value of the total current. The higher the value of the stronger is the domination of the electromagnetic forces. Thus the relative importance of electromagnetic stirring is increased by increasing the current, decreasing the fill ratio and decreasing the slag depth below the electrode. These findings seem reasonable on physical grounds, because a diverging current field will produce a stronger J x B force. Extreme examples of this have been found in electroslag welding, using wire electrodes. 172. Figure 5.19 shows the velocity field computed for an identical current to Fig. 5.18 but for a greatly reduced fill ratio vious case). (0.09 as opposed to 0.32 in the pre- It is clearly seen that under these conditions the flow is now dominated by electromagnetic forces. Also as expected from discussions given in connection with Fig. 5.8, the magnitude of the velocity increases when the fill ratio is decreased. Fig. 5.20 shows the radial distribution of the ratio of buoyancy/electromagnetic contributions to vorticity, some 0.02 m below the electrode, computed for the cases that have been given in Figs. 518 and 5.19. It is seen that buoyancy forces dominate in the vicinity of the walls because of the very steep radial temperature gradients. However, the curve drawn with the broken line, depicting the behavior of the system shown in Fig. 5.19 clearly indicates that the electromagnetic forces dominate in the central core for that case. Fig. 5.21 shows the computed values for the turbulence kinetic energy in the slag for ingot 15.

Fig. 5.22 shows a plot of the ratio: effective thermal conductivity/atomic thermal conductivity in the slag for ingot 15. It is seen that the strong convective field does indeed produce turbulent conditions, corresponding to an appreciable enhancement of the effective thermal conductivity. As in the case of Fig. 5.21, the regions of the maximum effective conductivity correspond to the zones where the circulation has its maximum intensity -- a behavior that is consistent with physical reasoning. The role of the current in determining the shape and the depth of the metal pool is examined in Figs. 5.23 and 5.24. Fig. 5.23 shows computed pool profiles for different current levels. The curves, drawn with the solid line, show that the higher the current, the deeper the pool profile. This finding has been established experimentally a long time ago; however, this is the first time that these experimental findings have been predicated from first principles.

Con- 184. CHAPTER VI CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER WORK In this chapter concluding remarks are made and some suggestions are made for further work in mathematical modelling of ESR process. 6.1 Conclusions In the work reported in this thesis a mathematical model has been developed to describe electromagnetic field, fluid flow, heat transfer and solidification phenomena in ESR systems. The model involved the simultaneous statement of Maxwell's equations, equations for turbulent flow and the differential thermal energy balance equations. These equations were first written in vectorial forms so that some general conclusions could be drawn regarding the behavior of ESR systems. Then the equations were presented in the cylindrical coordinate system with axial symmetry. The limitations of the model are inherent in the assumptions made in developing the model. While these assumptions are detailed in Section 3.3, some of the principal shortcomings of the model in its present form are as follows: (1) only. Fluid flow equations are solved in the slag Motion in the metal pool is accounted for by using an effective thermal conductivity. However, as discussed in section 5.2, an attempt is made to deduce this parameter in the model itself. 185. (2) The model assumes a predetermined shape (flat) for the melting tip of the electrode and a known electrode penetration depth in the slag. Ideally these parameters should be calculated using the mathematical model. However, this refinement can be made only if a more realistic understanding is developed of the melting process. (3) A constant value is used for the electrical conductivity of the slag. In some of the calculations presented in Chapter 5, an approximate allowance has been made for the temperature dependence of this parameter. (4) Effects associated with chemical and electro- chemical reactions are not considered. On the positive side, the model accomplishes the following: (1) It allows for turbulent flow in slag as caused by both electromagnetic and natural convection forces. (2) It accounts for the spatial distribution of heat generation rate, the transport of heat by the metal droplets falling through the slag and for the movements of the ingot and the electrode. (3) By integrating transport processes taking place in different portions of an ESR system, the model allows predictive relationships to be developed among key process parameters. The governing differential equations developed in Chapter III were solved using a numerical 186. technique outlined in Chapter IV to provide current distribution, velocity and temperature profiles for a laboratory scale system used by Mellberg 57 . In general the theoreti- cal predictions for the temperature profiles and for the pool profiles were found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental measurements, thereby indicating experimental support for the model. The predictive capacity which is inherent in this model enables one to develop theoretical relationships predicting the interdependence of the key process parameters. For example, it has been possible to relate the heat gener- ation pattern, the temperature and the velocity fields, the melting rate and the pool profiles to the operating power and current and to the geometry of the system. The principal findings may be summarized as follows: (1) The temperature at the slag-metal interface was found to be strongly spatially dependent. As seen from the work reported by Kreyenberg and Schwerdtfeger 16 the computed temperature and velocity distributions in the slag are strongly affected by the assumed temperature distribution at this interface and therefore it should be computed by the model rather than being specified arbitrarily. (2) It was found that for a fixed geometry, the higher the current, the deeper was the pool profile; this 187. mode of operation also resulted in a faster casting rate. Over the range of parameters used in the computation, the relationship between maximum pool depth and the current and the relationship between casting rate and power were found to be linear. (3) A deeper slag bath results in a larger heat loss through the mold wall. Thus for the same input power, a larger amount of slag gives rise to a lower pool depth. (4) The depth of penetration of the electrode was found to have some effect on the slag temperature; more specifically the lower the penetration, the lower the slag temperature in the bulk and hence the lower the casting rate. However as mentioned before, in practice the electrode penetration is a factor that is determined by the process itself and this aspect of the problem is yet to be modelled. (5) The model enables us to distinguish between the role buoyancy forces and electromagnetic forces play in driving the flow in the slag phase. It was found that the higher the current and the smaller the fill ratio, the more important was the role of electromagnetic forces. It has to be stressed, however, that in general, both these forces could play an important role in determining the flow field. 188. (6) The temperature distribution in the slag was found to be quite uniform with strong gradients in the vicinity of solid walls. (7) The use of a temperature dependent electrical conductivity for slag gave a reduced maximum temperature in the slag and a somewhat more uniform temperature distribution. This resulted in a lower amount of heat being transported to the electrode and thus in a reduced casting rate. (8) The ratio of effective/atomic thermal conduc- tivity in the metal pool, computed according to suggestion outlined in section 5.2 was found to lie in the range of 1.7 to 4.5. This is consistent with values deduced from experimental works 66 In closing, it is worthwhile to comment briefly on the principal differences and similarities between the present work and the earlier work reported by Dilawari and Szekely 13-15 1315. As mentioned in Chapter II, in the earlier work, the electromagnetic field, the fluid flow field and the temperature field were represented for an ESR system for a predetermined and idealized pool shape and size. Heat transfer phenomena in the mushy zone and in the ingot were ignored. While many of the transport equations and the boundary conditions used in the present work are identical to those used in the earlier work, the advances made in the present work are as follows: 189. (1) The shape and the size of the molten metal pool is no longer specified but calculated by solving heat transfer equations in the mushy zone and in the ingot. The present work allows for the incorporation of solidification models to represent the release of latent heat in the mushy zone. (2) The model allows for the first time for a comparison to be made between the measured and the predicted pool profiles and temperature fields in the ingot. (3) A more up-to-date model is used to represent the turbulent viscosity and the turbulent thermal conductivity in the slag. The model allows for special treat- ment of flow and heat transfer phenomena in the near wall regions. 6.2 Suggestions for Further Work From the point of view of mathematical modelling, ESR process represents a fascinating, if complex, group of problems. The model described in this work was an attempt at grouping together the salient features of current distribution, fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena so that the model could be used to investigate the interdependence of key process parameters. A few sugges- tions are given here for some further work in the area of modelling of ESR process. The suggestions given here are limited to mathematical modelling but it should be 190. recognized that physical modelling is a vast and extremely important area and that there is a need for a strong interaction between the two. 6.2.1 Suggestions for short term plans These include the following: (1) In the work reported in this thesis, limited measurements on a laboratory scale system were used. It would be desirable to have some measurements, specially on temperature distribution in the slag, available for a large scale system so as to be able to test the predictions of the model for this system. (2) The model, in its present form, uses an effective thermal conductivity to account for convective heat transfer in the metal pool. The model can be extended to calculate flow in the metal pool. To achieve this it will be advantageous to employ a numerical scheme 11 of the type used by Elliott and Maulvault 11 below the slag-metal interface. (3) An attempt can be made to use the information on velocity and temperature distribution generated by the model in developing a kinetic model. 6.2.2 Suggestions for long term plans These include the following: (1) There is a strong need for both experimental and analytical work in order to develop a realistic under- 191. standing of melting phenomena at the slag-electrode interface. (2) The model developed in this work can be extended to calculate fluid flow in the mushy zone so that it can be used to calculate macrosegregation in the ingot. (3) Some preliminary calculations can be made for multiple electrode configurations. The modelling of multiple electrode system represents a major additional difficulty, because under these conditions axial symmetry is no longer observed. (4) An approach similar to the one described in this thesis can be used to model the electroslag casting process. 192. APPENDIX A A BRIEF NOTE ON PHASOR NOTATION In dealing with sinusoidally time-varying quantities it is convenient to use phasor approach. A phasor is a complex number which can be represneted graphically as shown in Fig. A 1. The length of the line is equal to the magni- tude of the complex number and the angle that the line makes with the positive real axis is the angle of the complex number. For example when the functional form is cosinusoid- al, i.e. A cos (wt + P), the magnitude of the phasor is equal to the magnitude A of the cosinusoidal function and the angle of the phasor is equal to the phase angle the function for is A cos4 t = 0. of The real part of the phasor which is the value of the function at t = 0. As seen from Fig. A.1, if the phasor is rotated about the origin in the counter-clockwise direction at the rate of w rad/s, the time variation of its projection on the real axis describes the time variation of the cosinusoidal function. Using the terminology adopted in Chapters III and IV, a cosinusoidal function f can be represented, in phasor notation, as where f = Re A = JAI IAI = [A e e ] j magnitude of the phasor at (A.1) (A.2) t = 0. 193. . _ .. . i---- /S I I I (a. 1 EAL 0 V, .

To illustrate the application of phasor concept, let us derive the expression for time average electromagnetic body force component F [i.e. Eq. (3.15b)]. z (3.10), the instantaneous value of this quantity From Eq. can be written, in phasor notation, as jWt "' F' Re(H = z e -0 0 IHeI = = i cos(Wt + I0 HeIJrI ^ = 2e0 - t) x Re(J e ~~~~~~~~A r ^ He 1) x IJrl [cos(Wt + Jrl jc~tt (A.3) cos(wt + 1) cos(Wt + [cos(2wt + 1 + 2) 2) ] 2) I + cos ( - 2) ] (A.4) II The time-average value can be found as follows: T F where T = F ' dt (A.5) is the period. The time-average value of the first term in Eq. (A.4) is equal to zero, thus 195. ^ IIJr' ^ cos(Pe 1 2] I~ HaH 2 VO 0 Re [ IH9 |r' Z= !2 Fz= 2 0 J IHE I e Re[ * ] ^ Je IJrl ^ 1 =2 where i gl _1 0 2] (3.15b) Re( r ) is the complex conjugate of Jr. Following a similar approach, expressions can be derived for other time-averaged parameters such as Fr [Eq. (3.15a)], Q [Eq. (36) ] , etc. 196. APPENDIX B BOUNDARY CONDITIONS ON VORTICITY In this appendix, expressions will be derived for vorticity at the axis of symmetry and at the walls. B.1 Vorticity at the Axis of Symmetry 39 Form Eq. Vv - (3.23b) 1 a2 pr 9r in the text, It follows that in order for V z to be finite at r = 0, must tend to zero at the same rate as r near the axis. It follows that in the immediate vicinity of the axis, the - r distribution is parabolic. Furthermore, because of symmetry the second term in the ~ - r expansion should be the fourth power one; thus: where 40 ar 2 W0= + br 4 (B.1) is the stream function at the axis and a and b are constants for a fixed z. Using the definition of vorticity the symmetry condition V r = 0 at the [Eq. (3.22)], r = 0 and Eq. (B.1) we can write 8br P \k . G 197. Thus r = 0, at = 0 i on the other hand is finite. - r If 1 and 2 denote the nodes which are once and twice removed from the node 0 on the symmetry axis, we can evaluate b from 2 1 - 0 = -0 - 2 = ar1 4 + br1 ar2 2 + br2 4 (B.3a,b) 2'Po2 Then Eq. (B.2) gives; (i) (i) B.2. ~ = ~r [ 0 - 2 +1 -20/r 2 2 2 8 [022+120+ We 0]/(r - rl2) P r2 r!22 p r~~~~ 1 (3.89b) 2 Vorticity at a Wall 53 Let us illustrate the calculation of wall vorticity w-r-t slag-electrode interface. As seen in Fig. B.1, 0 is a node on the wall and 1 is the adjacent node in the zUsing Taylor series expansion, the value of direction. stream function at node 1, 1 1 2q 'P = 'P 1A + can be expressed as 2 13 34 3 + ( (B.4) where A From Eq. = 1 (B.5) - z0 (3.23a) 3z2o Tz 0 =-PrV1 0 (no slip condition) (B.6) 198. w a 0 Cl Q u w ,,, . _L I I-- - - , w, f: A-i .H u f,, .H q-4 0 A-i ff H 44 H ,, N 199. 2 and From Eq. 9V av7 - r rI = z2 (B.7) a.z o (3.22) -r V- 0 3/r z 1 22 (B.8) Thus from Eq. (B. 8) we can write 2 o 9z -pr I1 = (B.9) -pr (B.10) 3 and Kz3 O Using Eqs. (B.6), - $l = = I (B.9) and (B.10) in Eq. (B.4) gives 1 [2 - ~O-pr If as shown in Fig. B.1, ~ 1 + il A ] 2 A (B.ll) is taken as varying linearly with z in the vicinity of the wall, Da A Solving for () r0 = (l - o) (B.12) 0 from Eq. (B.11) then gives, 3(90 - 1) 2 pr (z1 -z0 ) 2 - 1 (3.91c) 1 200. Following an identical approach, expression for vorticity at the slag-metal interface can be derived. For the vertical surfaces, and r = Rm , Z (i.e. r = Re Z < z < Z2 < z < Z3), a similar approach is used but instead of assuming a linearly varying vorticity, the vorticity transport equation is used to give an expression for the normal gradient of vorticity at the wall. 201. APPENDIX C CALCULATION OF RADIATION VIEW FACTORS In this appendix, radiation view factors appearing in Eqs. (3.97) and (3.99) are calculated using the compil- 54 ation made by Leunberger and Person 54 for finite coaxial cylinders. Fig. C.1 shows a schematic representation of the system for calculating view factors. Symbols s, e, m and t represent free surface of the slag, outer surface of the electrode, inner surface of the mold and top (open) surface respectively. View factors are calculated with the aid of "view factor algebra" which relies on the reciprocity rule and on the fact that radiation is conserved. According to Leunberg and Person 54 F 1 = (z) es - [ cos 1 A2 2Tr cos x x { A1 -1 A2 Re R cos - A1 Rm A33 eA 2e - 4R 2R2 R 3 e m -1 R e} ] (C.l) Rm where A A 1 2 A x x 2 = x = x2 = x2 = L =L -z 2 R m - Rm 22 2 + R 2 R 2 R 2 z R 2 + + e e (C.2,3,4,5) (C.2,3,4,5) 202. 17 C.1 Schematic representation of the system for calculating view factors. 203. The view factor (C.1) with Fet(z) can be evaluated by using Eq. Then x = z. Fem(Z) em = F 1 - F em (z) can be calculated using, (z) ~es (C.6) Ft(z) et -- Let us now consider the evaluation of F' and F' sm se First we note that, F' where ' +F' + F' + ms mm F' mt me = 1 (C.7) indicates that the view factors are w-r-t-the entire surface. F' = ms F' (C.8) mt 1 Thus, ms 2 mm - F' me ) (C.9) Again, from reference 54, F' Re R = me 1 { -1 A5 A -- cos 4 m 1 1 ~~1 [ A A6 -Re 7 cos R - A A5 - R mn A4 R + sin 1 A - e R A ]} 2 m (C.10) where A A A 4 5 6 A7 = L + R = L = 2R R = /(L22 + 2 -R - R m 2 m + R e 2 e (C.11,12,13, 14) m e A7 Re )2 4R 2R2 =/ (L2 + Rme m 204. and R F' R 1 _ = e + 1{ 2 Rm - A l l- A0 L [ A 8 sin- A 9 2R m Rm i-a + sin e tan (A8 - 1)]} (C.15 ) where 2/R 2 -2 m e All L /4R2 = A + L2 L A 2 Al + A9 10 A2 Ai-i + 1 R 1- = 2 (C. 16,17,18, 19) 2 ( e) R m Thus after calculating F' from Eq. (C.10)and F' me Eq. (C.15), we can calculate F'Ms from Eq. (C.9). ms Then, from reciprocity rule, 2R L F' R 2 R 2 Rm -R e sm similarly noting that F' F -m St = 1 - from (C20 ) ms 54 L R 2_ m e R R (F + 2F' mm m me e (C.21) 1)] 205. and that F' se + F' +F' sm st = 1 we can calculate F' se = 1 - F' sm - F' st (C.22) 206. APPENDIX D USE OF TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY IN THE SLAG The magnetohydrodynamic form of Maxwell's equation (for low magnetic Reynolds no.) UH at _ can be written as: [Vx (H)] a - (D.1) In cylindrical coordinate and for axial symmetry (Hr = H = z a 0), Eq.(D.l) can be written as follows: D0 a ;H0 2 ° lH e a 11 [ ] + -[- - -(rH)] a z ~r r r - at z (D.2) Expanding the terms in Eq.(D.2) gives: 2 MHe 0 aH 3t He - ana [-- 9z 9z ;r ( - -(rH))] r r - 1 a + - az 2 + 1 r DZna (rH ) -] r 0 r (D.3) For the calculations reported in the text, the second term on the rh.s.ofEq. (D.3) has been neglected. However, in some of the calculations the temperature dependence of , appearing on the accounted for. -h-s of Eq.(D.3) has been The basic approach in these latter calcu-- lations involved: 207. (1) Solution of field equations for a specified temperature distribution in slag (2) Values for electromagnetic force and Joule heat rate generated in step 1 was then used to solve flow and temperature equations. (3) Temperature field generated in step 2 was used to calculate the new distribution of in slag. Steps 1 to 3 were repeated until the temperature fields in slag calculated in two consecutive iterations agreed within a specified limit. It is to be noted that each of steps 1 and 2 is iterative in addition to the overall process being iterative. The temperature dependence of electrical conductivity was deduced from data published by Mitchell and Cameron 60 on 70% CaF 2 , 30% A203 slags. Their data in the range 1500 °C - 1700 °C, can be represented by the following equation: Zna where -=9888 T + 10.467 is in ohm - 1 m-1 and T is in K. 208.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The author was born in Bihar, India on June 26, 1952. After finishing high school in Calcutta he attended Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, from 1969 to 1974 and obtained the degree of Bachelor of Technology (Honours) in Chemical Engineering. During both high school and undergraduate years he received numerous awards for achievements in academics and extra-curricular activities. On completion of his undergraduate studies in 1974, Department of Chemical Engineering awarded him Professor S.K. Nandi Gold Medal for being the "best all rounder" Chemical Engineering student in the class of 1974, the Institute Silver Medal for securing first rank in B. Tech. examinations and an award for the Best Undergraduate Thesis. In June 1974, In September 1974, the author married Saraswati Jha. he joined State University of New York at Buffalo and obtained the degree of Master of Science in Chemical Engineering in June 1976. His thesis work was on the effect of flow maldistribution on the performance of catalytic packed bed reactors. He joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT in September 1976. In 1978, the department awarded him Falih N. Darmara Materials Achievement Award "in recognition of outstanding academic performance, excellent research work and extra curricular activities". The same year he received the 281. Annual Student Paper Award of the Eastern Iron and Steel Section f AIME for a paper "Optimization of Burden Size for a Blast Furnace". As a research associate (Summers of 1976, 1977, 1978) at both SUNY at Buffalo and at MIT, the author has worked on a number of projects, both experimental and theoretical. He has worked on a broad range of problems as parts of various consulting assignments. Some of the assignments have involved heat transfer and fluid flow calculations in an electric furnace smelter, heat transfer calculations for recuperators using impinging jets, material and energy balance analysis for coal gasification and direct reduction processes, etc. He has also published papers in the areas of chemical reaction engineering, gas-solid reaction, and modelling of electroslag refining process. The author is a student member of AIME and ASM. He is also a member of Sigma Xi.
