摘要
One of the steel plants of Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) is considering a proposal to increase the capacity of tundish from the present level of 17 tonne to a targeted level of 25 tonne. As a step towards designing a larger tundish, the flow profile of steel in various alternate tundish configurations considered have been characterized using a 3-D steady-state mathematical simulation under assumption of both isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. Apart from generation of flow profiles of steel inside the tundish, the Residence Time Distribution curves have been predicted for analysis of flow behaviour inside the tundish. Based on the above analysis, the optimum tundish configuration was chosen for further development.
