SUMMARY:DEM comparison of chute geometries on charging
DESCRIPTION:Controlling the charging of the blast furnace is essential to ensure the burden distribution needed for a stable operation, high performance, low coke consumption and low CO2 emissions. The goal of this work is to study the impact of the chute geometry on the stream of particles. DEM has been chosen as the mathematical approach for simulating the granular flow. A series of simulations has been performed with modified geometries to study their impact on the stream of particles. To quantify that impact, the main aspects monitored were the thickness and the speed of the stream at the tip of the chute. The results showed the importance of simulating the proper geometry of the chute, as minor geometrical changes can have a big impact on the results. That approach brings perspectives on how to improve the geometry of the chute and on how it can influence the burden distribution in the furnace.
