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 2в̂™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. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
