Resumo

Several equations are developed over the years to calculate the penetration depth L of the Oxygen jet generated by the blowing lance for BOF/LD converters and similar processes. The penetration depth L for a given lance tip is primarily impacted by the lance height (gap), the oxygen flow rate and the resulting Oxygen jet momentum. Considering a dimensionless parameter L/Lo, where Lo is the liquid steel bath height, this paper will critically review both the theoretical and practical aspects of these depths of penetration equations, and recommend the most feasible equation(s) to determine the lance gap to use during the oxygen blow. This paper reviews how to translate the L/L0 in comparison with authors and yours considerations about nozzles parameters with respect to lance stirring, bottom stirring and slag layer patterns.
