In The energy requirements and economies of scale used for energy applications provide valuable information in studies on the energy transformations of different plastic waste. Proper control of pyrolysis reactors requires mathematical modeling that allows for the establishment of appropriate variables and heating times. This research presents the results of a simulation of a pyrolysis reactor to determine the effect of the physical parameters of the heating system on the time required to reach a maximum temperature that could be controlled. Specialized software (such as CAE and MATLAB) was used for simulation and to compare the temperature profiles obtained through simulation with the temperature record of an actual pyrolysis reactor. The ANSYS simulation was performed in a transient state. The results obtained demonstrate that the simulation process and the heating of the electric furnace lead to the conclusion that the system of equations used in the process is suitable for the availability furnace.
