The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.1 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0002 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRACT

An experimental study is conducted on a gas-particle stirred ladle system with throughflow of molten metal using a simplified water model. A real-time image processing technique is employed to investigate the effects of nozzle location, throughflow rate and air and particle flow rates on the melt-particle mixing as well as to determine the timewise variation of gas and particle behavior. It is disclosed that the mixing energy supplied to the ladle consists of four sources including buoyancy, gas and particle injections and throughflow and that the mixing time decreases with an increase in the total mixing energy. No effect of nozzle depth on mixing appears explicitly if mixing times measured are summarized as a function of the total mixing energy. Longer mixing time is attained in the lower mixing energy regime, in which the main contribution is due to the rising gas bubbles through the melt driven by buoyancy. On the contrary, shorter mixing time is expected if the mixing energy input is larger and depends mainly on gas and particle injections. Correlation equations are derived to predict the mixing time in a gas-particle stirred ladle with throughflow.
