Abstract: A mathematical model of adjusting blast parameters of tuyere was built and the formula of tuyere flow resistance was proposed. Based on a domestic 5500m3 BF, the blast volume, velocity and kinetic energy of each tuyere were analyzed, respectively, when the lengths or areas of tuyeres were adjusted at the condition of constant total blast volume. The results showed that the flow resistance of adjusted tuyeres increases with increasing their lengths and decreasing their areas. Therefore, increasing the length of adjusted tuyeres can decrease their blast volume, velocity and kinetic energy. The blast volume of adjusted tuyeres can be also reduced by decreasing their areas. The blast velocity and kinetic energy of adjusted tuyeres can be enhanced when the areas of multiple tuyeres were decreased. What’s more, the formula of critical adjusted tuyere number is put forward. This model can help to master the variation regulations of blast parameters and adjust the parameters of tuyeres quantitatively, which is benefit for stable and smooth work.

Key words: blast furnace(BF), hearth, tuyere flow resistance, blast volume, blast velocity, blast kinetic energy
