The paper is devoted to modeling the thermal regime and the stress-strain state of a carbon block when it is partially immersed in an electrolyte. The temperature field in the block was determined from the solution of a non-stationary three-dimensional heat conduction equation. The calculation of temperature stresses was carried out on the basis of the solution of the Poisson equation written for the thermoelastic displacement potential. As a result of modeling the thermal regime, the temperature fields in the carbon block are obtained for different time points. The calculation of the stress-strain state determined the magnitude and location of the greatest temperature stresses and allowed us to assess the possibility of carbon block failure
