Publisher's Synopsis
This book comprises eight chapters covering the principal topics of basic and applied research on transport phenomena in metallurgical refining and production systems. Each chapter contains a comprehensive review of the international literature, a thorough analysis of major innovations, and critical discussions of controversial issues at the forefront of developments in transport phenomena.;Basic concepts and fundamentals are emphasized and illustrated by examples from industry. This is particularly true in the chapters devoted to high-temperature processes, metal flow and flow-control systems, injection of reactive materials into melts, refractories and melt interaction, design of continuous-casting systems, and electrometallurgical processing. Scientists and engineers engaged in research and development for the metallurgical industries will find this book invaluable. The text is sufficiently fundamental to serve as a textbook for a graduate course in Process Metallurgy or as an important reference work for researchers.
