Popis: | A new method for the prediction of the viscosity of coal ash slags, in the Newtonian region, is presented. The technique is modeled on experimental viscosity data less than 1000 Pa s and hence is most reliable in that region. The capability of the model in predicting the viscosity of slags from coal ash was found to be superior to a number of the most commonly used empirical models found in the literature, which are based on simplified oxide melts or British coal ash slags. The method also provides an indication of the relative fluxing strength of the basic oxides usually found in coal ash slags. It was found that the fluxing strength is related to the inverse of the cation radius. |
