This study investigates the influence of blast furnace profile on operational stability and efficiency, particularly focusing on hearth erosion. The objective is to evaluate the effect of blast furnace volume as it relates to operational parameters, especially under the context of Japan's increasing furnace sizes and centralization of pig production since the 1970s. A mathematical simulation was employed to assess the impact of various furnace profile configurations on the overall operation of the blast furnace. Results indicate that while certain characteristics of the furnace profile, such as height and bosh parameters, are essential for maintaining efficient operational flow and stability, previous empirical approaches lack robust theoretical frameworks. The study highlights that the design of furnace profiles should evolve from purely empirical methods to include comprehensive theoretical analyses. These findings provide a clearer understanding of the dynamics within blast furnaces and can aid in the optimization of operational parameters for improved performance. This research contributes to the limited theoretical discourse regarding blast furnace profiles, elucidating their critical role in enhancing furnace operation and addressing issues related to hearth erosion.
