A Collection of Papers Presented at the 57th Conference on Glass Problems: Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings, Volume

This volume is part of the Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceeding  (CESP) series.  This series contains a collection of papers dealing with issues in both traditional ceramics (i.e., glass, whitewares, refractories, and porcelain enamel) and advanced ceramics. Topics covered in the area of advanced ceramic include bioceramics, nanomaterials, composites, solid oxide fuel cells, mechanical properties and structural design, advanced ceramic coatings, ceramic armor, porous ceramics, and more.Content: Chapter 1 Philosophy, Design, and Performance of Oxy?Fuel Furnaces (pages 1–14): Marvin GridleyChapter 2 In?Situ Testing of Superstructure Refractories (pages 15–28): Don ShampChapter 3 Development and Implementation of a Three?Dimensional Combustion Code for Use in Glass Melting Furnaces (pages 29–42): K.
