Abstract

Metal emulsions have been studied for several decades as a method of increasing the efficiency of the steelmaking process. This study was performed using a water model, observable at room temperature, to compensate for the disadvantages of the high-temperature experiment, the results of which are difficult to observe visually. As a substitute for metal-in-slag emulsions, experiments were conducted by dropping distilled water into silicone oil and comparing the results with the results of a calculation by momentum balance equations. The descending velocity of the water droplet decreased as the diameter of the droplet and viscosity of the fluid (silicon oil) increased. To simulate the descending velocity of a water droplet in silicon oil under stirring conditions, the flow rate of the fluid (silicon oil) was measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV) methods. The calculation of the descending velocity of the water droplet was in good agreement with the measured values, with and without stirring a viscous silicone oil.

금속 에멀젼(metal emulsion)은 제강 공정의 효율성을 높이는 방법으로 수십 년 동안 연구되어 왔습니다. 본 연구는 육안으로 관찰하기 어려운 고온 실험의 단점을 보완하기 위해 상온에서 관찰 가능한 수모델을 이용하여 수행하였다. 슬래그 내 금속 에멀젼의 대신하여 증류수를 실리콘 오일에 적하하여 운동량 균형 방정식에 의한 계산 결과와 비교하는 실험을 하였다. 물방울의 하강 속도는 물방울의 직경과 유체(실리콘 오일)의 점도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 교반 조건에서 실리콘 오일에서 물방울의 하강 속도를 시뮬레이션하기 위해 유체(실리콘 오일)의 유속을 입자 이미지 속도계(PIV) 방법으로 측정하였다. 물방울의 하강 속도 계산은 점성 실리콘 오일을 교반하거나 교반하지 않고 측정된 값과 잘 일치하였다.
