Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article presents the results of modeling of the temperature field of the electric melting furnace of the “EAGLE” facility. The two-dimensional axisymmetric thermophysical model was created in the ANSYS software and the model was validated by comparing the calculated temperature values with experimental data during modeling. Validation of the model shows that the deviations of the calculated and experimental temperature values at the control points do not exceed the permissible limits. Thus, the developed thermophysical model can be used to justify further experiments at the “EAGLE” facility.
