Abstract

Language:

A 2D axisymmetric two-phase model was developed to study the effect of arc impingement on the liquid metal inside an electric arc furnace. This model integrated arc flow dynamics with heat transfer and magnetohydrodynamics, enabling a comprehensive analysis of the interaction between the arc and the liquid metal. To evaluate the model's predictive capabilities, a parametric study was conducted considering three distinct parameters which determined the impact on the liquid metal behavior. The results demonstrated variations in fluid dynamics, temperature distribution, and arc characteristics under differing operational conditions, providing insights into optimizing electric arc furnace operations. This simplified modeling approach effectively captures critical phenomena in arc impingement, aiding in the understanding of the complex interactions within the furnace environment and potentially leading to enhanced processes and efficiencies in the metallurgical industry.
