A heat and mass transfer model of a silicon pilot furnace

The most common technological route for metallurgical silicon production is to feed quartz and a carbon source (e.g., coal, coke, or charcoal) into submerged-arc furnaces, which use electrodes as electrical conductors. We develop a mathematical model of a silicon furnace. A continuum approach is tak...
