Investigation of Jamming Phenomenon in a Direct Reduction Furnace Pellet Feed System Using the Discrete Element Method

A continuous iron ore pellet feed system for a direct reduction ironmaking furnace is reportedly jamming in a hopper above the furnace, where a counterflowing gas seals off the furnace flue gas. The conditions that result in jamming are not well understood. The system is computationally modeled util...
