How much steam is produced in an electric arc furnace?

Hello, everyone. Does anyone know how much steam is produced by an electric arc furnace in a set amount of time? I have not been able to find any information on this despite how much water is no doubt used to cool the electric arc furnace. Can anyone help?

Depends upon the size of the furnace.
A table top unit would be air cooled.
Larger industrial would be water cooled.
How much steam would be system dependent, so maybe none at all, just a bunch of hot water. Size matters.

Here is a thesis.

Around page 43 you have some equations.
Perhaps you can figure out the amount of energy ( as a percentage of input ) needed to cool the roof and walls, and go from there.
I would suspect around 20%, but don't take that as gospel, which again depends upon how far you are into the melt.
