A glass production furnace requires a considerable amount of energy to allow the correct melting process. In this work, CFD model has been developed in order simulate convective flow movements within molten bath furnace. heat flux profile assigned free surface combustion process, and modelled with thermophysical properties variable temperature based on its chemical composition. The validated by...

background: radioactive yttrium glass microspheres are used for liver cancer treatment. these yttrium aluminum silicate microspheres are synthesized from yttrium, aluminum and silicone oxides by melting. there are two known processes used to transform irregular shaped glass particles into microspheres, these ‘spheroidization by flame’ and ‘spheroidization by gravitational fall in a tubular furn...

In view of the economy and environmental impacts of the energy utilization, most of the heat transfer industries such as steel mills, glass plants and forging shops, foundry process and furnaces are focusing on energy efficient strategies and implementing new technologies. Gas Technology Institute (GTI) and Air Liquide Chicago Research Centre (ALCRC) have applied Oscillating Combustion Technolo...

Materials preparation. Synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes with confinement of Co or Ni nanoparticles was carried out according to previous reported. [1] In brief, dicyandiamide (12 mmol) was mixed with cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate (CoCl 2 ·6H 2 O, 0.84 mmol). After grinding for 15 min, the homogeneous mixture was placed on an alumina boat and heated at 500 °C in a tube furnace for ...
