Metallurgical Processes

In the metallurgical process, hundreds tons of particles with various diameter such as iron ore and coal particles are treated.

An heat transfer and chemical reactions between particles and a reduction gas are necessary to produce a liquid iron.

To simulate the metallurgical process, the heat transfer and chemical reactions should be considered together.

Fluidized beds and rotary kilns which have very complicated particle motions and heat and mass transfers are our research topics.
