| Abstract |
| Recently, various worldwide studies have been conducted to improve converter operation by modifying the lance nozzle. In this study, a numerical analysis of the lance nozzle was conducted to improve the dephosphorization efficiency, and to reduce blowing time. The lance nozzle was designed in the form of an abnormal expansion type nozzle capable of increasing the oxygen supply rate. ANSYS FLUENT, a commercial flow analysis program, was used to verify the flow characteristics of the supersonic jet. The nozzle shape was designed according to the ratio of exit diameter to throat diameter, and an analysis was carried out based on the change in inlet flow rate, to confirm the influence of the oxygen supply flow rate. The velocity of the oxygen jet was the fastest for the normal expansion type nozzle and decreased with the abnormal expansion type nozzle. In addition, the oxygen jet velocity tended to increase with the oxygen flow rate.
