model the transient thermal behaviour of the furnace #21

Open DeltaFwulf opened 1 month ago

To get an idea of ramp times while the furnace is being manufactured, a transient thermal model of the furnace should be written. This will use a 1D axisymmetric mesh to calculate the furnace's energy balance over time and so estimate the thermal response of the crucible and melt stock.

This can be extended out to 3D, providing a stepping stone to a useful thermal model for future refinements.
