This paper deals with an integrated numerical and experimental analysis work investigating into the effect of changes in temperature in a crucible furnace built for metal melting process. Furnace operating conditions employing the application of Yttria in place of brick used in furnace was carried out to study temperature variations inside the crucible furnace. The experimental values of temperature during conventional combustion carried out in a crucible furnace with brick lining were taken as

The results indicate that by embedding the brick by Yttria resulted inenhanced temperatures at different zones inside the furnace and significance impact on thermal radiation and the heat transfer rate in the furnace.
