Flow Of Glass In Furnaces Heated By Electricity

A method is described whereby a model liquid is used to simulate the flow of glass in a tank furnace. The liquid used is glycerol with an addition of LiCl which satisfactorily simulates the electrical properties of the glass melt. Six different types of flow caused by rod electrodes and plate electrodes are described. By choosing an appropriate shape for the electrodes and by their correct location, a thermal barrier in the melting area of the glass furnace may be established or the existing barrier strengthened.
