Structure of the Tuyere Zone of A Tank Furnace with A Bubbling Layer and Gas Delivery Through A Tuyere Located on the Side Wall Below the Level of the Molten Glass

Abstract

Possible regimes of gas efflux into a layer of molten glass through a horizontal tuyere as well as the structure of the blowing zone formed in the process are investigated using a physical model of a glass furnace with a bubbling layer. The initial data required for uniqueness are obtained in a mathematical model of mixing of molten glass in a tank furnace.
