Abstract: |
This paper established a three-dimensional mathematical model of oxygen-fuel combustion space and glass flowing, according to the practical situation of a fiberglass furnace whose production was up to 20,000 ton per year, and obtained simulation results by using UDF program to combine combustion space and glass flowing through the one-way couple. Based on the comparison between the simulation results and the measured data obtained, it can be suggested that the mathematical model can objectively reflect the real distribution of the temperature field and velocity field of the oxygen-enriched combustion fiberglass furnace. Results indicated that the maximum relative error was less than 2%. The study here was really useful for understanding the furnace, improving the working conditions, reducing the risks, and optimizing the designs of glass furnace.
