Dimensionless Numbers in the Analysis of Hydrodynamic Instability of Interface Steel - Slag at Microscale in Refining Processes
Abstract
In evaluation of the local hydrodynamics of interface, in steel-slag refining processes influenced by solutal effects, adequate scales of length and time satisfying certain conditions are necessary to get a correct and suggestive image of the weight of factors possible to be used in industrial technologies. These could be obtained based on already established common dimensionless numbers but carefully applied in a specific manner, taking into consideration particularities of the established interface and the main involved process. Based of the general philosophy of building dimensionless artificial conglomerates, a new dimensionless group Ni = Ma ⋅ Bo is proposed in this paper as a consequence of needs to evaluate particularly the effects of capillarity actions at interface, especially of solutal origin, in presence of other physico-chemical and physical actions, especially when the effects of capillarity prevail over all others.
