GLASS MIXING

Objective

Provide an understanding of flow field inside gobbing well Quantify the amount of mixing Select blade type and orientation Design a gobber system for "infinite life"

Results

Mixing behavior of glass in a gobbing well Blade geometry for achieving uniform mixing Rate of mixing through particle tracking and statistical analysis Pressure distribution acting on gobber components, i.e, (blades and hummock) Structural integrity of gobber components

Benefits

Provide an understanding through flow visualization inside the gobbing well Cost effective way of evaluating design changes
