Modeling of Steelmaking Processes : CRC Press : 9781420062434 : 1420062433 : 13 Aug 2009 : From the prediction of complex weather patterns to the design of swimsuits, modeling has, over the years, quietly but steadily become an essential part of almost every field and industry?and steelmaking is no exception. Factors such as visual opacity, high operating temperature, and the relatively large size of industrial reactors often preclude direct experimental observation in steel manufacturing. Therefore the industry is overwhelmingly dependent on modeling to quickly and cost-effectively provide insight into analysis, design, optimization, and control of processing. However, few, if any, books offer the adequate coverage of modeling. Addresses Fundamental Principles of Physical and Mathematical Modeling in Steelmaking Processes Modeling of Steelmaking Processes meets that ever-present demand and provides a solid knowledge base on which to build.
