The calculated exergy efficiency was 0.32 for the 12.5 MVA furnace and 0.33 for the 22.5 MVA furnace. The fitting diagram for the direct recovery rate shows that when raw material is consumed beyond the critical point (A), the furnaces—ranked by the change in the direct recovery rate of silicon—is as follows: 22.5 MVA > 12.5 MVA > 8.5 MVA.
