Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Swinburne University of Technology Full time
Department of Mechanical and Product Design Engineering

  • Full time, fixed term position at our Hawthorn Campus and BlueScope Steel in Port Kembla
  • Stipend of $33,413 p.a. will be offered for the three years duration of the PhD

About the Scholarship


This project aims to develop innovative sensors and models for the steelmaking process, with the goal of reducing its environmental impact, particularly in lowering carbon emissions.

Led by Professor Geoffrey Brooks and Dr.

Michelle Dunne from Swinburne University of Technology, in collaboration with research engineers from BlueScope Steel (Port Kembla), the project builds upon previous successful work in developing multi-zone kinetic and heat transfer models for Oxygen Steelmaking.

BlueScope Steel seeks to enhance control of their Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) process through sensor development for advanced control systems, aligning with their adoption of Industry 4.0 principles.

Additionally, efforts are directed towards reducing carbon footprint by optimizing post-combustion of CO in the vessel, utilizing heat for scrap preheating, and minimising heat losses from the vessels.

This study aims to integrate mathematical heat flow models with existing and potential new sensors on steelmaking vessels to monitor heat flows and losses from the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF).

By combining models with sensors, the system will provide operators and engineers with real-time estimates of heat loss as a function of time and operating parameters, enabling optimisation of heat utilisation in the steelmaking process.


Key Responsibility Areas
The following proposed research program is proposed in Development of Heat Flow Monitoring System for the BOF, namely:

a) Studying how the current control system works and review and assess the hardware in use, the mounting and installation design, and any inherent limitations to installing new sensors.

b) Studying and advising on what are the best sensors available and propose equipment and location of sensors for further work.

c) Produce a literature review on the current understanding of the heat flow monitoring systems for the BOF, including a critical review of the existing system.

d) Develop a mathematical model of the BOF that would link existing and proposed sensors for the BOF to heat transfer models of the Port Kembla BOF, allowing for estimation of dynamic heat flow from plant measurements.

e) Develop a Heat Flow Monitoring system (hardware, software) that would initially be tested on a laboratory scale furnace at Swinburne.

f) Undertake plant trials with BlueScope staff at Port Kembla steel plant using the system developed (hardware and software) at Swinburne for calculating dynamic heat flows and losses for the BOF.

About you
To be successful in the role, you will have:

  • Bachelor (or Masters) of Engineering or Bachelor (or Masters) of Applied Science
  • Training in Mathematical Modelling
  • Training in Basic Control Engineering
  • Background in Process Metallurgy, Chemical Engineering Materials Engineering or Mechanical Engineering
  • Industrial experience in a process industry
A full list of selection criteria is available within the position description.
