The goals of this research were twofold: 1. Develop numerical models of existing taconite induration operations. 2. Demonstrate application of these models for process analysis leading to improved process efficiency defined by increased productivity and reduced fuel costs.enMinntac Grate-Kiln induration systemNumerical modelsTaconite induration operationsProcess efficiencyComputational fluid dynamics modelMass and energy balance modelFurnace productivityNatural Resources Research InstituteUniversity of Minnesota DuluthTechnical Report
