Ladle
cooling
Figure 1
below shows the dynamic cooling effects of a ladle at room temperature
suddenly filled with molten steel. The vectors indicate velocity direction
while the colours of the vectors indicate the steel temperature. Buoyancy
effects are responsible for the recirculation of the molten steel. The
steel cools down due to radiative, convection, and conduction heat
transfer at the boundaries.
