Comparative study on a physical model of specific features of top blowing through the tip with folded nozzles when blowing single-phase liquids
Summary. The aim of the work was to study the nature and peculiarities of the interaction of the lance of the converter lance flowing from the folded nozzles with a liquid bath of single-phase liquid. The study was conducted on the basis of a physical model of the converter with top purge. The design of a folded nozzle consisting of a central cylindrical nozzle and a slit annular nozzle located around it is investigated. A visual and video recording comparative study in comparable operating conditions of the folded nozzle with different design features, in particular, with an additionally deepened central nozzle in the folded nozzle and a protruding central nozzle; with operation of one cylindrical nozzle, four nozzles of identical section and an annular slot nozzle. It is established that the jet flowing from the folded nozzle differs in the possibility of more active interaction with the liquid bath than one cylindrical nozzle and four nozzles of equivalent plane. The depth of penetration of the jet into the bath liquid, the parameters of the formed hole of the jet penetration, the oscillations of the bath were studied. It is established that the peculiarities of crater formation in the liquid, characteristic when using a folded nozzle, are due to the use of a slotted annular part of the nozzle. The wider crater is due to the use of a slotted annular part of the nozzle. It is shown that the structural variants of the folded nozzle with a recessed or protruding central nozzle do not increase either the depth or the width of the formed crater. It is also established that the peculiarities of crater formation in the liquid when using a folded nozzle are due to the use of a slotted annular part of the nozzle. To form the best purge conditions, the slice of the slotted annular part should be flush with the slice of the central nozzle. With this design, the jet pulse is maintained for a longer period compared to the use of only one central nozzle, probably due to the protection of the central jet, and due to its deep penetration properties.
