Numerical Simulation Analysis on Lengthwise Graphitization Furnace Co-Production Silicon Carbide

Abstract:

The effective thermal conductivity coefficient of silicon carbide (SiC) synthesis materials and graphitization furnace insulation material were obtained by applying heat percolation theory and thermal coefficient equation of various layer-compositors. This paper proposed a further numerical analysis on the temperature distribution of SiC furnace, lengthwise graphitization (LWG) furnace and Co-production furnace by open source finite element software FEPG. The results show that the Co-production furnace can produce SiC after finishing graphitization production and Co-production furnace’s energy consumption subtract energy consumption of LWG furnace, SiC production energy consumption of Co-production furnace is half and SiC yield of Co-production furnace is 57-73 percent of same type of SiC furnace. Besides, applying Co-production process could reduce the exhaust of whole LWG furnace.
