Recycling of steel plant by-products is a critical area that needs careful assessment and development if the integrated steel plant is to remain environmentally and economically sustainable into the future. A research program is being embarked upon in the Australian Steel Research Hub with aims to realise the value of the by-products to the Australian Steel industry and minimise volumes being stockpiled. As a first step, key by-product streams (such as blast furnace, BOS and sinter dusts) are being evaluated and characterised so that their potential uses in-plant or elsewhere can be assessed/evaluated. These streams contain components including iron and …

This paper reports on the characterisation of water sprays for the purpose of modelling the effectiveness of such sprays in mitigating the impacts of wildfires on residential buildings. Four types of water spray nozzles were experimentally tested and analysed using a single high-speed camera and image analysis software. The sprays were generated by a misting nozzle, a hollow-cone nozzle, a rotating 'butterfly' sprinkler and a deflector plate sprinkler. Back-illumination was used to produce silhouette images of droplets within each spray. The point spread function half-width of each droplet image was determined, to give an indication of the distance of the …
