Abstract Transient two phase flow and heat transfer in a gas-stirred steel ladle are numerically investigated. An Eulerian two fluid approach is used. The drag, lift and turbulent dispersion forces are taken into account for the interface interactions. Different interface heat transfer correlations such as Ranz-Marshall and Hughmark relations are used to examine the influence of heat transfer between gas-liquid interface on the flow. The flow pattern, the histories of both gas and molten steel temperatures, and the thermal stratification history are presented. Results show that gas injection can homogenize thermal field and result in a thermal stratification of about 2 °C only (not complete homogenization). The different heat transfer correlations examined for the bubble-liquid interface have negligible impact on the flow and thermal fields. Predictions are compared with experimental data measured in an industrial ladle and a reasonable agreement is achieved.

Abstract The non-isothermal laminar flow of the Bingham non-Newtonian fluid through a sudden pipe expansion is investigated. The governing equations of conservation of mass, momentum and energy are solved using the finite-difference numerical technique. The effects of non-dimensional yield stress, Reynolds number, Prandtl number and Brinkman number on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied. The obtained results indicate the complex nature of the present non-Newtonian fluid flow and heat transfer problem and reveal new features not encountered in the case of Newtonian fluids.

The steady laminar flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting non-Newtonian fluid of second grade impinging normal to a plane wall with heat transfer is investigated. An externally applied uniform magnetic field is applied normal to the wall, which is maintained at a constant temperature. A numerical solution for the governing momentum and energy equations is obtained. The effect of the characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluid and the magnetic field on both the flow and heat transfer is outlined. PACS Nos.: 47.50 and 47.15
