TY - JOUR AU - Makarov, R. AB - MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTER SIMULATION METHODS IN GLASS PRODUCTION: A REVIEW R. I. Makarov UDC 666.1.013 Simulation and comprehensive automation make large contributions to accelerating glass production, improving quality, and saving raw materials and power. A monograph appearing in 1980 [I] deals with computerized control systems in the glass industry, where it considers models for technological stages. Various simulation studies on glass production have been performed recently by research and development organizations, production cooperatives, glass plants, and colleges. Com- puterized control systems have been set up for preparing batches, melting the glass, working it, and cutting the strip. At the same time, it has not proved possible to eliminate com- pletely certain special techniques in glass production involving manual control, which has hindered resolving this problem. Here I surveyrecent publications on mathematical and computer simulation methods in ~ glass production; the papers can be classified by subject, model type, and mathematical techniques. Batch composition models are used to calculate recipes when any change occurs in the raw-material composition or product glass density [2-5]. Determinants and matrices are used. These models are used in automatic process control software for making the batches [6-9]. The automation stabilizes the glass composition.
