Modeling of Materials Heating on Solar Furnace and Cooling of Melt

Abstract

The possibilities of calculating the rate of heating and cooling of molten materials on the example of pyroxene rocks under the influence of concentrated solar radiation in the Big Solar Furnace are shown. The dependences of the microstructure of the material obtained from the cooled melt on the cooling rate of the melt are analyzed. It is shown that a different method of cooling the melt can achieve different cooling rates: 102 ; 103 and 104 deg/s.
