3D Thermo-Electric Coupling Analysis of the Diaphragmless Magnesium Reduction Cell

A three-dimensional half cell model is built by large-scale finite element analysis software ANSYS.The thermo-electric boundary conditions,potential and temperature distribution are analyzed.The differences between 3D and 1D calculation method are compared,and anode top temperature,anode cross-section current density and potential-drop of electrolyte are concretely analyzed.
