Numerical modelling of heat flows in the upper blast furnace of the electric arc furnace

Abstract

Contributing shows one of the alternatives to use the waste heat from an electric furnace hat with subsequent use for the need for heating water preparation and central heating. In a contribution is presents a numerical model of heat flows from electric arc furnace designed for, into a cooled furnace from which waste heat is led to the central heating system. The model was developed implementing the finite volume method in ANSYS-Fluent program code.
