A numerical study of cylindrical electric furnace performance using the finite element method

<p>Described is a development of a new finite element-method-based numerical technique to carry out the steady-state thermal analysis of a cylindrical electric furnace. Such furnaces are in common use for the continuous melting of glass rods. Our aim was to use an iterative technique in which...
