35. 34 Conditions for the trial calculations Liquid: steel at 1600 o C,  l/g = 1.7 J/m 2,  1 = 7000 kg/m 3 Solid particle: Al 2 O 3, r = 10  m,  s/g = 0.9 J/m 2,  s = 3600 kg/m 3, m = 1.5.10 -11 kg, F g = m.g = 1,5. 10 -10 N. Contact angle: 120 o. From the Young equation:  s/l = 1.75 J/m 2, Derivatives by T and weight % of oxygen, dissolved in liquid steel: d  c/l /dT = –2.10 -4 J/Km 2 and d  c/l /dC O = –10 J/m 2 w%. Temperature gradient: dT/dx = 10K/mm Gradient of the oxygen concentration: dC O /dx = 0.01 w%/mm For capillary force, the depth of immersion: x = 20  m For meniscus force between two, equal particles: x = 10  m. From the densities:  * = 0.51,  flat * = 0.16, i.e. (  * -  flat *) = 0.35. For the liquid bridge induced interfacial force we suppose that the particles are in contact (x = 0), the volume of liquid is negligible. Kaptay / Day 2 / 34
