Mathematical modeling of radiant heat transfer in the melting furnace working space

Abstract

The paper provides mathematical modelling results of radiation flow formation in the work space of the smelting (glassmaking, open-hearth) furnace with different heating patterns and flow distribution over the surface of the bath and enclosing structures. A significant influence of the flame length upon technical and economic parameters of furnace operation was found out. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
