Thermal Stress Analysis of Furnace Wall by Using Ansys Workbench

Furnaces are most usually utilized for melting of metals. Induction furnaces are more useful as no fuel is utilized. It is an issue to discover life of Induction Furnace wall under thermal condition. The induction furnace wall is designed of composite material which is one type of composite material. The heat loss and furnace wall breakage happen because of repeated thermal stresses. This study based around the subject of ultimate wall thickness for lowest heat losses over the walls of induction furnace. Three materials utilized for furnace wall i.e. Zirconium Oxide, Tungsten Carbide and Boron carbide are utilized. This investigation is done in Ansys Workbench programming and the outcomes are thought about. Temperature conveyance and thermal stress distribution fields of the induction melting furnace refractory wall were figured by utilizing ANSYS finite component investigation programming dependent on the physical description of its failure under thermal conditions.
