Abstract
This paper presents a practical three-dimensional mathematical model of circulation and heat transfer in generator of glass melting furnaces. The model was based on the heat transfer between the smoke flow and the lattice units, and between the air flow and the lattice units. This model not only bypassed the difficulty of complicated computation of the heat transfer process in the regenerator of glass furnaces, but also avoided the irrationality of fixing the temperature distribution on the surfaces.
Use of the model yielded very important data and also the method for the design of the regenerator of glass furnaces in practical production.
