Abstract
The possibility of using a heat exchanger system to control the flow o f glass through a platinum downspout is investigated, Downspouts are u sed in place of refractory throats since they avoid some of the proble ms associated with throats. It is assumed that the flow is predominant ly axial and an integral expression for the flow field is obtained. Th e temperature distribution in the glass is calculated using the finite difference method. The formulation of the heat transfer problem inclu des a detailed analysis of the anisotropic radiation field in the glas s.
