Abstract:
This paper deals with the study of the effect of the dimensions of the Hall-Heroult cell
anode for the aluminum smelter on the amount of electrical energy consumed during it, as it
studied the relationship of the voltage drop through the anode versus the anode current, the
diameter of the stub, the stub hole depth, the anode length, and the anode height using the
finite differences method, then the results of this study were compared with published results
obtained by other, more complex methods, which are Finite elements method (3D ANSYS
model( and Dyna/Marc1.7 (lump parameters +cell simulator )
