The influence of blast conditions and coke properties on the size of the raceway has been evaluated in a hot model simulation of the blast furnace raceway zone. Coke fines surrounding the raceway after quenching have been sampled and analysed and their distribution has been found to be a function of the experimental conditions. The results from the model have been compared with data from operating blast furnaces, and similar raceway depth and coke behaviour correlations have been found. 30 references.
