Abstract A 2-D mathematical model describing heat transfer and fluid flow in an electric arc has been developed and used to predict heat transfer from the arc to the molten bath in ferrosilicon AC submerged-arc furnace. In this model the time-dependent conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy in the specified domain of plasma zone have been solved numerically coupled with the Maxwell and Laplace equations for magnetic filed and electric potential respectively. A control volume based finite difference method was used to solve the governing equations in cylindrical coordinates. The reliability of the developed model was tested by comparison with the data available in the literature. The present model showed a better consistency with the data given in the literature because of solving the Maxwell and Laplace equations simultaneously for calculation of current density. Parametric studies were carried out to evaluate the effect of electrical current and arc length on flow field and temperature distribution within the arc. According to computed results, a lower power input lead to the higher arc efficiency.
