Abstract
The role of the air gap formed between scrap and a solidified metal shell at the beginning of the scrap dissolution process has been investigated. The effect of air gap has been investigated for different Biot numbers (10 to 100) and ratios of air gap to liquid melt heat transfer coefficient (0.1 to 0.9). The predictions of the mathematical model are compared with the experimental results reported elsewhere. The role of air gap is found to be significant only for low Biot numbers (< 50) and for low ratios of air gap to liquid melt heat transfer coefficient (< 0.25). © 2013 The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society and ASM International.
