Abstract

A software has been developed to calculate the viscosities of multicomponent oxide slags using a viscosity model. The software is linked to a viscosity database, which contains the model parameters and the experimental data, along with their sources. The model parameters have been optimized based on experimental data generated in the laboratory and found in the literature. The model parameters enable the calculation of the viscosities of six-component Al 2 O 3-CaO-Fe n O-MgO-MnO-SiO 2 slags as well as its subsystems as functions of temperature and composition.
