Abstract:
      Based on the electric field and flow field in previous research, considering electric field and electrolyte flows on the impact of temperature distribution, the 3 kA Nd electrolyzer temperature field was simulated using FORTRAN97 program, the upper hand differential equations about the energy transfer discrete format using finite difference method in cylindrical coordinate was established. The results show that high temperature zone is in the internal receiver (1 100 ℃), the greatest strength of heat emitting is among the electrodes, the simulation results coincide with measured temperature distributions in real rare-earth electrolyzer.
