Heat Transfer Analysis in High Efficiency Electric Melting Furnace

고효율/친환경 전기 용해로 내의 열전달 해석

The main objective of this study is to analyze the heat transfer characteristics in the electric melting furnace. Local temperatures are measured at various location in the furnace using the B-type thermocouples. In this paper, the numerical simulation was performed using the ANSYS software, and compared with experimental data. Mathematical heat transfer model for the prediction of temperature distribution has been developed by considering the thermal radiation among heating element, crucible and insulating materials. The results show that the temperature distributions predicted by the numerical simulation agree with experimental results comparatively.
