Abstract

Results of numerical simulation models show that the use of a hollow electrode reduces the critical thermal stresses in Söderberg electrodes. This effect is mainly due to the cooling of the electrode material caused by the flow of gas and particles through the electrode. Numerical simulations indicate that the effect of the modified geometry of the hollow electrode is small under normal operating conditions.
