Non-Arrhenius Viscosity Models for Molten Silicate Slags with Constant Pre-Exponential Parameter: A Comparison to Arrhenius Model

The accuracies of molten slag viscosity fitting and low-temperature extrapolation were compared between four two-variable models: Arrhenius, Weymann–Frenkel (WF), and Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann (VFT) and Mauro, Yue, Ellison, Gupta and Allan (MYEGA) models with constant pre-exponential parameter, based on...

Description
Summary:The accuracies of molten slag viscosity fitting and low-temperature extrapolation were compared between four two-variable models: Arrhenius, Weymann–Frenkel (WF), and Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann (VFT) and Mauro, Yue, Ellison, Gupta and Allan (MYEGA) models with constant pre-exponential parameter, based on a molten slag viscosity database consisting of over 800 compositions and 5,000 measurements. It is found that over wide ranges of pre-exponential parameter, the VFT and MYEGA models have lower viscosity fitting errors and much higher low-temperature viscosity extrapolation accuracies than Arrhenius and WF models. The pre-exponential parameter values of –2.8 for VFT and –2.3 for MYEGA are recommended.
