Abstract
A two‐dimensional mathematical model has been developed for predicting current and temperature distributions in an electric smelting furnace. The current distribution is calculated by solving differential equation for magnetic field intensity Hθ with A.C. input. Temperature distribution in the furnace is evaluated by solving the equation for conservation of energy. The data used for the model is based on the ferro manganese production. The effect of various operating parameters such as electrode depth, electrical conductivity of the charge and the slag on the power consumption, heat loss, slag and top gas temperatures have been studied in the present model.
