Cover Story: Computational fluid dynamics is used to study postcombustion in an electric arc furnace. The furnace is equipped with three virtual lance burners having inlets for the main and secondary oxygen and fuel. The model includes the gas phase inside the burners and the furnace above the molten bath surface. The off-gas analysis is used to estimate the flow rate of CO arising from the bath. The results demonstrate the regions inside the furnace having high concentration of CO capable of being combusted. The model is used to adjust the flow rate of secondary oxygen in order to improve the postcombustion. View this paper.
