Mathematical modeling of the heating and melting of the metal charge in an electric-arc steel-making furnace

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

A mathematical model has been developed and an algorithm of calculation of heat- and mass-transfer processes in heating and melting of metal scrap in an electric-arc steel-making furnace has been created. The results of numerical modeling of the dynamics of melting of metal scrap in this furnace have been given.
