Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF AIR ENTRAPMENT IN LADLES performing various refining operations at a secondary steel making stage of a ladle is challenging as it requires huge time and resources. The present subject matter discloses a technique for determination of air entrapment in a ladle. In an embodiment, method uses transient computational fluid dynamics modeling for simulating tapping process of liquid steel and tracking the interface with respect to time. By carrying out the parametric study for different geometrical and operational parameters, training and validation data is generated which is then used for training an artificial neural network model. The new ladle geometrical and operational input parameters for which output parameters are required are then used to predict the air entrapment.
