Abstract A typical glass furnace consists of a combustion space and a melter. The intense heat, generated from the combustion of fuel and air/oxygen in the combustion space, is transferred mainly by radiation to the melter where the melt sand and cullet (scrap glass) are melted, creating molten glass. The melter flow is a complex multi-phase flow including solid batches of sand/cullet and molten glass. Proper modeling of the flow patterns of the solid batch and liquid glass is a key to determining the glass quality and furnace efficiency. A multi-phase CFD code has been developed to simulate glass melter flow. It uses an Eulerian approach for both the solid batch and the liquid glass-melt flows. The mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations of the batch flow are used to solve for local batch particle number density, velocity, and temperature. In a similar manner, the conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy of the glass-melt flow are used to solve for local liquid molten glass pressure, velocity, and temperature. The solid batch is melted on the top by the heat from the combustion space and from below by heat from the glass-melt flow. The heat transfer rate from the combustion space is calculated from a radiation model calculation while the heat transfer rate from the glass-melt flow to the solid batch is calculated from a model based on local particle number density and glass-melt temperature. Energy and mass are balanced between the batch and the glass-melt. Batch coverage is determined from local particle number density and velocity. A commercial-scale glass melter has been simulated at different operating/design conditions.

AbstractA new method for the calculation of kinetic coefficients is presented. This method allows us to obtain the distribution of scalar and vector fields (such as the temperature, the admixture particle number density and the magnetic field) in turbulent cosmic media with any value of S = u0т0/R0. The explicit expression for the “turbulent” diffusivity DT is obtained. In some cases DT becomes negative, implying the clustering of the admixture particles in patches (a local increase of the temperature and magnetic fields). The magnetic α-effect is considered for the case S ~ 1.

Simulation Results

A model simulating the deposition of small particles with turbulent transport, sedimentation, and coagulation, is presented. Experimental measurements were conducted in a room-scale chamber using a specially designed sequential sampler. The measured deposition-rate data are compared with the simulation results. Distributions of particle-number density at different times are plotted in several viewing planes to facilitate discussion of the particle distribution patterns.

Abstract The dependence of pool scrubbing performance on particle number density is studied through numerical simulation of experimental results. The DF values obtained from the authors’ experiments (Sun et al., Sci. Technol. Nucl. Inst., Article ID 1743982, 2019) indicate a sharp decrease with an increase in the inlet particle number density beyond 1011/m3. The mechanisms underlying such dependence is yet to be studied. In this paper, a simple model is developed to study the factors affecting the experimentally observed dependence of DF. The test results suggest that the condensational growth of particles plays an essential role in the inertial capture. The vapor condensation on the particles has an effect to deplete the vapor supersaturation in the bubble by both lowering the vapor concentration and raising the temperature. This effect will become important at high particle number densities. The bubble mass and energy balance is calculated to derive the particle growth and the inertial DF as a function of the bubble rise distance through the pool water. The balance is assumed to be quasi-steady, and the vapor concentration and the temperature to be uniform in the bubble. It is shown that the model reproduces the tendency observed in the experimental DF. The model predicts that the degree of supersaturation is affected when particle concentration exceeds 1011/m3, curbing the condensational growth of particles, and thereby retarding the inertial capture.

Data Extrapolation

We have developed procedures whereby the progression of errors in various methods of morphometric data extrapolation may be evaluated. The analysis is straightforward and simple. We suggest that before collecting data, one should estimate the accepted fluctuations of the various parameters. Then, by calculation of propagation of errors, the most suitable method may be chosen, so that the data extracted will have an acceptable coefficient of variation. Higher precision carries a cost of time and/or money, and may not be necessary.
