MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF DYNAMIC HEAT- AND MASS-EXCHANGE PROCESSES IN A GLASSMAKING FURNACE

Theoretical foundations have been developed and a mathematical  model of dynamic heat- and mass-exchange processes in a glassmaking 
furnace has been constructed, which makes it possible to calculate and visualize nonstationary temperature fields in the furnace volume 
and nonstationary fields of velocities of convective glass-mass flow  in the molten bath. Test calculations for a specific structure of 
a glassmaking furnace which have shown the effectiveness of the model  constructed have been performed.
