Effect of Chute Rotation on Particles Movement for Bell-less Top Blast Furnace

For the bell-less top blast furnace, when particles move along the chute, the particles motion direction and the frictional force acting on them will change due to the chute rotation, which consequently influences the velocity at the tip of chute, changes the burden flow width and impact point, and finally affects the stock profile and gas flow distribution. So the influence of chute rotation needs to be considered when calculating the burden trajectory with a mathematical model. The mathematical model was established to analyze the influence of Coriolis force on particle velocity at chute tip as well as height and width of burden flow in chute, and to summarize the effect of Coriolis force on burden distribution, thereby making the calculation result more accurate.
