Radiative Heat Transfer in Silicon Purification
Chapter
Abstract
We present a numerical model describing the thermal behavior of a silicon purification process which takes place into a so-called casting ladle. We consider, simultaneously, the phase change in the silicon and a nonlinear non-local boundary condition arising from the Stefan-Boltzmann radiation condition at the enclosure surfaces within the ladle. We also propose a numerical approximation using a finite element method. An iterative algorithm and numerical results are presented.
