| Abstract Scope |
In the present work, the electromagnetic effect in a steel refining ladle has been analyzed using three-dimensional mathematical simulation by use of the finite element method (FEM), varying the shape of the stirrer (straight and cylindrical coil system), as well as the use of two stirrers with straight geometry. The effect of the phase change, as well as the current intensity per winding in the different agitator coil systems were analyzed for the generation of a traveling magnetic field, obtaining that the agitator with cylindrical geometry is the one that presents the highest magnetic flux density of the order of 0.11 T, compared to others agitators. Therefore, obtaining a greater magnitude of volumetric Lorentz force, and expecting a higher fluid velocity and shorter mixing times compared to the other agitators. the results obtained in the case of a straight geometry agitator correspond with the results reported in the literature. |
