Temperature field inside the crucible stove
Temperature distribution inside a crucible stove, computed from the given geometry, material properties, heat sources and thermal boundary conditions.
Engineering Problem
How can the temperature distribution inside a crucible stove be found?
Answer
Build a plane-parallel steady-state heat transfer problem for the crucible stove wall and evaluate the temperature distribution inside the furnace structure from the computed field results.
Typical Applications
- Crucible stoves
- Refractory crucible linings
- Industrial melting furnaces
Simulation Problem
- Problem Type
