Numerical simulation on the structure of glass furnace

Abstract

Attention received by the float process, whose structure of the furnace is very critical, and its design is reasonable, directly affect the production and quality of glass. while the size of melting department of melting furnace is reasonable which is key solution of designing the furnace. In the past, the size of melting department is determined by referring to or according to the same production scale of the furnaces which are existing. This paper is to use the method which includes the theory and numerical simulation which are combining the practice to establish two kinds of different small furnace design scheme of furnace structure of the physical models and mathematical models, as well as a 900d/t glass furnace's structure which is using of Fluent software simulation. At last, we compare it with the same production scale furnace which is existing and get the ideal results.
