Bed permeability is a crucial factor in blast furnace efficiency and stability. The Discrete
Element Method (DEM) has been used extensively to model material flow in different parts of …

The discrete element method (DEM) is a time‐driven simulation technique based on a
Lagrangian description of particle motion that predicts the flow of granular matter and fine …

ABSTRACT A new data-driven reference vector-guided evolutionary algorithm has been
successfully implemented to construct surrogate models for various objectives pertinent to …

Over the last 25 years a lot of work has been undertaken on constructing continuum models
for segregation of particles of different sizes. We focus on one model that is designed to …

This chapter describes the ironmaking technology and outlines the process essentials. The
focus was put on the blast furnace process which is currently the dominating technology for …

In numerical simulations of the blast furnace, the discrete element method (DEM) is a quite
novel method. The accuracy of physical parameters of the method is a key issue for the …

Tablet compression has great significance in the pharmaceutical industry since most of the
drugs are in the tablet dosage form. The tablet press feed frame is used to fill powder into the …

In a journey of centuries, the ironmaking blast furnace has gone through many technological
changes, which made it a fit-for-purpose till today. However, for the first time in history, its …

The burden distribution has an important influence on the heat transfer, mass transfer,
momentum transfer and chemical reactions of blast furnaces. Since the 1970s, metallurgical …

The particle segregation in the hopper located above the bell-less top charging equipment is
a factor that affects the radial size distribution in the blast furnace, and as the burden …
