MODELING OF THE THERMAL OPERATION OF A HIGH-CAPACITY GLASSMAKING FURNACE

摘要

The results of mathematical modeling of the thermal operation of a 280 tons/day glassmaking furnace with a horseshoe flame are presented. It is shown that specific extraction of molten glass 2.5 tons/(m~2 day) and specific heat flow 4563.8 kJ/kg with gas heating of the furnace can be attained without additional electric heating of the melting tank.
