Experimental and numerical studies on heat transfer enhancement in the silicothermic reduction process

Currently, the silicon thermal method is the main process to produce primary magnesium, which is controlled by chemical reaction kinetics and the heat transfer process in the retort. However, the unbelievably low thermal conductivity and point contact thermal resistance of the pellets greatly reduce...
