Thanks everyone! It means a lot to have people helping out. I see where I went wrong. I got ahead of myself and tried to conver 2260 J/g°C (for reasons I don't even remember). I am honestly not a very strong in physics or basic math. I have not taken a course in 5 years and do not keep up...
Got it, I just had the wrong number written down for the conversion of 2200F to C. I believe my ΔT is ok because I just had a recording error there. Thanks!
Hello people, thanks for reading. I am glad you are checking out my problem. Basically I need to confirm a "theory/formula" that my boss had written down from a decade ago declaring how much water (roughly) would be needed to cool Slag from steel making process to below boiling.
PROBLEM...
Your right, it is not simply steel like I said. It is mostly oxides and sulfides but many of the plants that we work at (we don't make the steel, we recover the slag), have a high amount of steel left in because of quality issues and other. I probably would have tried to find a different...
This is a general formula I am trying to figure out. A rough gallons per ton estimate. I know that it is going to be far from exacty but the actual industry doesn't exactly work in a precise manner. Slag has a similar heat capacity to steel because IT IS steel, just the "leftover" metals from...
H20 cooling of Steel
Thanks for all of the advice. I am far better off than I was before. To clarify some things, the water that is being used is around 60-80F before application. The actual application that this is for, is when the "Slag" or byproduct from steel production is dumped into...
Hello all, thanks for reading.
I am trying to figure out how much water (gallons) would be needed to cool 1 ton of molten Carbon Steel from 2200F to 212F. The specific heat of Carbon Steel is 0.49 Kj/kg.C
I am not sure where to start. I tried used Newtons Law of Cooling but I don't...
