A model for foam formation, stability, and breakdown in glass-melting furnaces

The Properties of Cenospheres and the Mechanism of Their Formation During High-Temperature Coal Combustion at Thermal Power Plans

“…All these options are typical for brittle fractures that most likely start at the stage of cooling down to T <TG. The problem of the formation, growth and destruction of MS with viscoplastic or viscoelastic shells is considered, for example, by Sheng and Azevedo 21) and Dacombe et al 64) , who studied the formation of fly FA and MS, Yao et al 114) and Ribe 135) , who attempted to develop a general theory of the dynamics of thin viscous films, Mungall et al 120,121) , who studied the cooling of volcanic lava or by van der Schaaf and Beerkens 136) who examined the behavior of glass spheres in the molten metal. The simplest scenario of the MS destruction at this stage involves breakthrough in the shell at t/D0 < (t/D0)cr accompanied by gas emission, possible loss of part of the shell, the subsequent collapse and reformation of an intact shell over a preserved core.…”

Microstructure of platinum films on YSZ prepared by pulsed laser deposition

“…The surface energy of quartz glass is 0.3 J/m 2 (this is the value at the melting point, since other values are not available and the value at the growing temperature of 400 1C should be closely comparable [27,28]) and of YSZ (1 1 1) is 0.641 J/m 2 [29]. Also considering Eq.…”

Influence of Fining Agents on Glass Melting: A Review, Part 2

“…Gas release and foam formation are connected through several common important parameters which may be described as the following: the redox state of the glass melt, the water content in the melt, the temperature, the concentration of finning agent, the concentration of other dissolved gases and the stability of the glass melt lamellae in a foam layer [34,35]. However, if we focus on sulphate fining of soda-lime-silica glass melts, we can summarize:…”
