The temperature distribution in the working space of an electric-arc steelmaking furnace built by the company “Danieli” and equipped with radially positioned fuel-burning devices is analyzed. It is concluded that the temperature field is quite nonuniform, and the suggestion is made to reposition the gas-oxygen burners into a tangential configuration. Computer modeling is used to determine the temperature distribution in the furnace’s working space for radially and tangentially arranged burners.
