Asymptotic analysis of a silicon furnace model

Silicon is produced from quartz rock in electrode-heated furnaces by using carbon as a reduction agent. We perform an asymptotic analysis of a heat and mass transfer model of an experimental pilot furnace in order to determine the dominant chemical and thermal behaviour of the system. First, by pres...
