Abstract
An important step in the optimization of a glass container production cycle is the determination of the glass temperature distribution during heat treatment. The ideal approach to this problem is to formulate a theoretical model for comparison against experimental data measured in a well-determined system. Discrepancies between theory and experiment may then give further direction for model improvement. This approach, however, is limited because of the difficulties in measuring glass temperature distribution during forming. Another approach is to use the model to predict glass surface heat fluxes during the forming cycle and test the computed results against published values of glass to metal heat fluxes measured during glass container production on an individual section (I.S.) Blow-and-Blow bottle machine. A computer model has been developed to calculate the temperature distribution in a glass plate. The model includes the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. The process is...
