1. For the reaction Fe(/)+[0] FeO(1), the equilibrium constant is expressed as a function of temperature as: log K (6150/7)-2.604. Given that the slag contains. CaO, SiO, and FeO and their respective mole percentages are 45%,30% and 20%, use the ternary phase diagram provided in Sec. 5.3.7 to calculate the equilibrium dissolved oxygen content in the bath at 1823.
Case 1: ignore activity coefficients.
Case 2: consider the following activity composition relationships: log 0.008[wt% C]-0.2[wt% O] and log f =0.14[wt% C]-0.34[wt% O].
12. Given that standard free energy change for the reaction 0(g)[0]% as a function of temperature is: -117150-2.897, on the basis of the results obtained from Problem 1, Calculate the oxygen potential of the slag at 1823 K.
3. A 200 tonne converter is charged with hot metal containing 4% C,1.2 wt% Si and 1 wt% Mn. Calculate the volume of oxygen required to oxidize all impurities including FeO in slag as per Problem 1. Calculate the amount of SiO, thus generated and the amount of lime required to maintain a basicity (V ratio) of 3.5. If density of slag is 3240 and that of steel is 7200 kg/m, determine the relative mass ratio of metal to slag as accurately as possible.
4. Complete oxidation of silicon to silica produces heat energy equivalent to 901,000 kJ/ kg-mol of Si. Similarly, complete oxidation of carbon to carbon monoxide liberates 150,000 kJ/kg-mol of carbon. On the basis of the data in Problem 3(200 tonne vessel, L/D=0.35), calculate the amount of heat evolved due to complete oxidation of silicon and carbon and the corresponding rise in bath temperature (ignore lime heating, slag
formation, heat of mixing and heat losses). Estimate the 'scrap equivalence' of heat
thus generated, given that the latent heat of melting of steel is 0.12 MJ/kg and specific
heat of steel is 680 J/kgC. For a small 60 tonne BOF, the following data are available: 5.

Case 1: ignore activity coefficients.
Case 2: consider the following activity composition relationships: logf0=0.008[wt%C]-0.2[wt%O] and logfC=0.14[wt%C]-0.34[wt%O].
