Pressure distribution in the solid material
Temperature distribution in the gas flow
Mass fraction of FeO in iron ore
COREX® is an ecologically beneficial process for iron production, which has been developed by VOEST Alpine Industrieanlagenbau. In a 3D process simulation model of the COREX® reduction shaft, the gas and solid flow, the energy balances, the chemical reactions and the dust deposition are to be calculated. This development is a joint project of VAI, the Industrial Mathematics Institute and MathConsult.
