Computation of Foam Glass Thermal Field in the Annealing Process

Аннотация

One of the approaches to computing the foam glass thermal field distribution in the process of annealing under the conditions of a complex thermal exchange (also taking into account radiation, convection, and molecular components) based on the finite element method is realized. Special features of the solid model formation for a complex thermal exchange, realization of the initial and boundary conditions, and optimal computation parameters are examined. The characteristics of the thermal field distribution in the foam glass in the process of annealing are established. A comparison of the obtained data with the experimental results shows that the relative error of the computations does not exceeded ±15%.
