What is the power consumption of an induction melting furnace to melt 1 ton of aluminum?

Kapasite chalè espesifik aliminyòm se 0.88 × 103 J / (kg · ℃), pwen k ap fonn: 660.37 Chalè fizyon aliminyòm se 3.98 × 105J / kg,

1 tòn aliminyòm chofe soti nan (25 ° C) a 660 ° C, ak Lè sa a, fonn. Gen de pati nan absòpsyon chalè, yon pati se absòpsyon chalè pa chofaj, ak lòt pati a se chalè nan chanjman faz.

Heating endothermic Q1=880×1000×(660-25)J=558800KJ

Faz chanjman chalè Q2 = 1000 × 3.98 × 105 = 398000KJ

Total heat=558800+398000=956800KJ

Chalè a pou chak kilowat-èdtan se 3600KJ, ak efikasite chofaj la anjeneral alantou 90%.

956800÷3600÷90%=295.31

Therefore, it takes about 295 kWh to melt 1 ton of aluminum, which may not be particularly accurate. I hope I can give you a reference.
