Abstract
The heating and melting of cylindrical slender samples in monoellipsoi dal mirror furnaces are studied. A one-dimensional model that includes the radiative exchange between the sample and the mirror is formulate d. The temperature dependence of the physical properties of the sample is taken into account in the model. Convection in the melt is not con sidered. The results obtained with the model are compared with experim ental data for silicon and graphite samples, (C) 1998 Published by Els evier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
