Abstract Scope |
A model to simulate Søderberg electrode, which was initially presented in TMS 2024, is developed further to predict conditions in the electrode during various operational scenarios. The model predictions are seen to qualitatively agree with the trends in the temperature measurements reported in literature for an analogous electrode. The model is also used to simulate various (hypothetical) shutdown scenarios to compute the induced thermal stresses - which can be used as indicators to develop operational strategy. The mesh convergence and time step sensitivity of the model predictions are analysed. The model is observed to run much faster than real time (about 450 times faster), thus enabling its potential use in hybrid digital twin type of applications in industries. |
