Loss of Height Pressure in a Layer of Granular Materials

Abstract

During the air blown in the furnace, from the vents to the loading mouth, the gases lost from the initial pressure depend on several factors, such as the care and the granulation mixed with ores and coke from the layers of care. For the knowledge of a gas circulation through granular layers, pressure losses were studied in layers formed from pieces of materials of different shapes and sizes, using a specially constructed laboratory installation.
