Abstract
A digital model was developed and used for simulating the discharge of a borosilicate glass melt via the inductively heated drain of the removable small-size heater designed by the Mayak Production Association. The thermal calculation of the small-size furnace for high-level waste vitrification with borosilicate glass in the course of glass melting and discharge was made, and the calculation results were compared to the experimental data. The maximal difference in the absolute values of the temperature of furnace parts in the places of the thermocouple installation does not exceed 100°С, which corresponds to approximately 10% of the acting temperatures. Taking into account the assumptions made, this result can be considered satisfactory.
