Abstract

Cold model experiments were performed to make clear the critical condition causing the entrapment of slag under bottom gas injection. Entrapment of slag was judged from visual observation. The following empirical correlation of the critica] Iiquid velocity on the centerline of the vessel a,t,* was derived.
