Experimental Verification of Model Simulation Results of Heating Cycles within the Electric Muffle Furnaces

Abstract

The paper [1] described a mathematical model of the electric muffle furnace. A specific solution of real models has been already solved and presented within this paper. The first one is the muffle heating furnace equipped with a fireproof clay muffle (MODEL I) and thermal insulation of expanded fireproof clay. As the second variant the furnace equipped with a silicon carbide muffle (MODEL II) and with a thermal insulation of fibre ceramic boards of Sibral type is presented. Further the paper presents the results of simulations of the same heating cycles performed using the mathematical model presented in the paper [1] and comparing these results with the progression of the values measured in real furnaces.

Experiment and simulation assessment will be carried out as the final step hereof. Equipment parameters are sources from technical documentations of the manufacturers.
