Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a numerical model of heat transport from melting charge of the electric arc furnace designed for ferroalloy production, into a cooled roof of the electric arc furnace from which waste heat is led to the heating system of a company. The model considers the influence of an asymmetric flue gas removal and geometry of electrode arrangement. The model was developed implementing CFD - the finite volume method in ANSYS - Fluent program code. Outputs of the simulation model served as a basis for dimensioning heat exchanger circuits designed for waste heat recovery to provide a company heating.
