“…Here, the undissolved CaO is defined as a sphere of uniform size, and the slag volume, V bulk slah (m 3 ), and the sum of the surface area of f-CaO, A f-cao (m 2 ), are calculated by Eqs. ( 10) and ( 15 Here, W s is the total weight of the slag (kg), W m is the weight of the hot metal (60 kg), ρ s is the density of the liquid slag (3 460 kg/m 3 ), 14) V f-cao is the volume of f-CaO (m 3 ), W f-cao is the weight of f-CaO (kg), ρ f-cao is the density of f-CaO (3 346 kg/m 3 ), 12,13) r is the radius of f-CaO (m), and n is the number of free-CaO particles.…”
