Beschreibung
The book presents a comprehensive treatment of process fundamentals and transport phenomena in industrial glass melting and is intended for scientists and engineers working in the glass and other high-temperature materials manufacturing industries, as well as students of materials science and engineering.
· A unified treatment is given of the physicochemical processes and transport phenomena governing industrial glass melting.
· Covers a broad range of topics including an overview of glass manufacturing, glass chemistry and composition, selected thermophysical properties of glass-forming melts, and thermochemical processes involved in batch-to-melt conversion. Transport phenomena in industrial glass furnaces are examined with emphasis on viscous and turbulent flows and thermal radiation in interacting regions including batch, melt, combustion space, and foam, all treated as participating media.
· Electric melting, fining and homogenization processes, and emissions from industrial glass furnaces are also discussed.
· The application of dimensional analysis to processes and phenomena relevant to industrial glass melting is described and illustrated.
· Enables readers to integrate process concepts, engineering approximations, and empirical correlations for process design, analysis, and innovation.
