Abstract

This paper describes the modeling of the superheating capability of an electric furnace system. The furnace design is radical in that it uses electric radiant heating elements to make use of cheap nuclear and geothermal power. The aim of the work was to create a mathematical model to evaluate conditions under which the superheat performance is likely to be met or exceeded. The model predicted that the furnace has enough heating power, subject to the correct preheating being applied first
