Static Model — Charge Calculation

Mass & enthalpy balance for the charge: how much oxygen, lime and dolomite this heat needs, and where it will turn down.

Model corrections

Defaults reproduce the charge actually made for heat B289502 — the same heat the dynamic model blows. The two correction terms are the ANN/GA-fitted residuals of the heat and oxygen balances.

Initial slag & bath

Defaults reproduce the validated workbook exactly (final C 0.068 %, slag 13.7 t, basicity 3.9). Every cell reference (BX6, BI2, …) maps to the source spreadsheet — see the Help tab for the full formula index.
