M.Ing. / In this study it is shown that numerical analysis, and more specifically computational fluid dynamics can be used to investigate, compare, predict and design lining/cooling system combinations for blast furnaces’ in order to ensure longer campaign life and better performance. Three currently available cooling systems namely, copper staves are investigated. These combined with four different refractory materials, namely high alumina, silicon carbide, semi-graphite and graphite, stated in order of increasing thermal conductivity.
