108. Glass cooling - ways and means

Author

Sims, Richard

Subjects
Construction and materials industries, Engineering and manufacturing industries
Abstract

Innovations in glass melting furnace design have resulted in higher melting rates per furnace which in turn, has led to more glass to condition and hotter glass that leave the melter. Cooling is therefore of great importance to the glass conditioning process of high capacity container facilities. The three basic factors to consider in cooling design are heat transfer, conduction and radiation. A discussion of various cooling systems is presented.

Subjects

Abstract

Melting furnace developments have increased melting rates for glass conditioning furnaces. Thus, hotter glass raises energy removal demand for the glass conditioning process. A preferred cooling process for such cases is heat transfer by radiation. Open radiation, direct air and indirect air cooling systems all offer distinct benefits and problems. Glass product users can apply the best possible cooling process that suits the glass conditioning process.

127. A measurement system for vertical seawater profiles close to the air/sea interface.

Abstract

This paper describes a Near Surface Ocean Profiler, which has been designed to precisely measure vertical gradients in the top 10 m of the ocean. Variations in the depth of seawater collection are minimised when using the profiler compared to conventional CTD/rosette deployments. The profiler consists of a remotely operated winch mounted on a tethered yet free floating buoy, which is used to raise and lower a small frame housing sensors and inlet tubing. Seawater at the inlet depth is pumped back to the ship for analysis. The profiler can be used to make continuous vertical profiles or to target a series of discrete depths. The profiler has been successfully deployed during wind speeds up to 10 m s-1 and significant wave heights up to 2 m. We demonstrate the potential of the profiler by presenting measured vertical profiles of the trace gases carbon dioxide and dimethylsulfide. Trace gas measurements use an efficient microporous membrane equilibrator to minimise the system response time. The example profiles show vertical gradients in the upper 5 m for temperature, carbon dioxide and dimethylsulfide of 0.15 °C, 4 μatm and 0.4 nM respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Age as a Risk Factor in Driving, human activities
Abstract

We examined associations of functional impairments with vehicle crashes using telephone interviews of 244 elderly at-fault crash involved Mobile County, Alabama, drivers and 475 crash free controls, frequency matched on age and gender. Police-investigated crash reports filed in 1996 were obtained from the Alabama Department of Public Safety. After controlling for potential confounding, reported difficulty walking ≥ 1/2 mile (OR 2.0; 95% CI 1.2, 3.6), moving outdoors (OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.1, 7.0), and increasing numbers of activity limitations (p for trend=0.04) were associated with crash involvement. A 50% increased odds of crashing was observed for subjects reporting prior falls.
