CFD Analysis of Regenerative Chambers for Energy Efficiency Improvement in Glass Production Plants

The overall efficiency of a regenerative chamber for a glass furnace mainly relies on the thermo-fluid dynamics of air and waste gas alternatively flowing through stacks of refractory bricks (checkers) determining the heat recovery. A numerical approach could effectively support the design strategie...
