The role of transport phenomena and technological processes in glass production is noted. The salient features of a change in transport phenomena accompanying changes of the temperature and chemical composition of glasses for fused and solidified states of glass are examined. The interrelationship of transport phenomenon is also examined. Glass forming melts possess a high viscosity. The latter has a large effect on transport phenomena associated with particle motion; this effect is also expressed by definite relations. The results of experimental and theoretical investigations, presented in the scientific and technical literature, are discussed from structural and technological standpoints.Transport phenomena are encountered in every technological process. They include processes where mass or energy transfer occurs from certain particles of a nonuniform material system to other particles in the system. It is usually assumed that the system consists of one phase but its properties are nonuniform.If a material or energy gradient is present in a system or body, then transport of the corresponding kinetic units (atoms, ions, phonons, and so forth) occurs:where F is the flux of the kinetic units determining some property, K is the coefficient of proportionality, and dF/dx is the gradient of the determining characteristics: flow velocity, temperature, concentration, electric potential.The most important types of transport are transport of impulse or momentum, heat, mass, and electric charge.During heat conduction, thermal energy is transferred from particles with higher energy to particles with lower energy.When regions with different chemical potentials are present (this difference arises, as a rule, because of a concentration difference), mass transfer occurs as a result of diffusion. A special limiting case of diffusion is self-diffusion, which is associated with disordered displacement as a result of the thermal motion of molecules, atoms, or ions within a phase with uniform properties.During electric conduction, electric charge is transferred as a result of a difference in the electric potentials.Transport phenomena play an important role in the technological processes involved in the production of glass articles, starting with the process of founding glass and ending with processes involved in working articles and in the interaction with the environment when glass articles are used.In what follows, the characteristic features of transport phenomena, predominately in the high-temperature processes of glass technology, are examined. Predominantly domestic review literature containing many references to the original works, including those of foreign authors, is used.It should be noted that the authors of [1] analyzed, using the SciGlass system, the investigation of the properties of glass over the period 1976 -2001. It was found that over this time the number of investigations concerning transport phenomena (including dielectric properties) comprised 18.3% of the total number of investigations concerning the proper...
