Descrição: dc.descriptionNozzle blockage in RH reactors is a serious operational problem since it can cause an asymmetric distribution of the steel flow in both the up-leg as well as the lower region of the vacuum chamber. This anomaly can alter the circulation rate in addition to affecting the erosion profile of the lower part of vacuum chamber refractory lining. In this study, the effect of nozzle obstruction on liquid circulation rate, wall shear stress, velocity profiles and flow pattern have been evaluated. In addition, refractory erosion in the vacuum chamber has been estimated through physical modeling and mathematical simulation results. Four blockage conditions were studied for different gas flow rates. There was a good agreement in physical and mathematical models results. Asymmetric flow was observed in vacuum chamber lower region in asymmetric blockage cases, which resulted in preferential wear on one chamber side in physical modeling experiments. The wall shear stress analysis in the vacuum chamber using a fluid dynamic model also indicates preferential erosion. When compared, refractory erosion results in physical modeling and shear stress in mathematical modeling presented good correlation.-
