Abstract

A new decarburization model for the RH system was constructed to calculate the decarburization reaction using a three-dimensional fluid dynamics program. The behavior of Ar gas and the entire fluid flow in the RH process were considered. On the basis of this fluid flow, the decarburization reaction could be calculated by establishing the decarburization reaction model, which considers thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, and the decarburization sites (Ar bubble surface, bath surface, and the CO bubble formation at inner sites). The model showed good agreement with two RH operation results. Using this numerical model, the contributions of each reaction were investigated.
