Mathematical Models for Calculating the Electrical Field in the Baths of Multielectrode Ore-Thermal Furnaces
The article presents two solutions of the Laplace equation describing the electrical field in the baths of multielectrode ore-thermal furnaces operating in an arc-free or weakly arching mode. Graphic illustrations of the Laplace equation solutions’ components are given, and interrelations between the solutions of this equation are determined. The advantage of the proposed models consists in the possibility of separately considering the effect the geometrical parameters of the bath and electrodes, and the furnace electrical operating mode have on the parameters characterizing the bath electrical field.
