result of this calculation is a starting requirement of 576.5 tons of iron ore fines entering the system to ensure 400 semi-processed tons enter the 2nd reactor. The 356.4 tons of outflow from the 2nd reactor (400 x 1- yield loss x 1- mass loss) is the input to the next step. We continued to take the outflow from each step and multiply by (1- the yield loss) to arrive at the final value of 321.5 tons of Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI)‚ per cycle.
