Research and Markets: New Report Detailing Processes Involved in Working With Mineral Wool

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c91391) has announced the
addition of "Mineral Wool" to their offering.

B Sirok, B Blagojevic, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering,
University of Ljubljana, Slovenia and P Bullen, University of
Hertfordshire, UK

- describes the technological process of mineral wool production
and the physical characteristics

- focuses on the use of computer-aided visualisation and discusses
aerodynamic characteristics of the airflow

- essential for engineers, researchers and students to gain
knowledge of experimental methods in this field

Mineral wool has a unique range of properties combining high
thermal resistance with long-term stability. It is made from molten
glass, stone or slag that is spun into a fibre-like structure which
creates a combination of properties that no other insulation material
can match. It has the ability to save energy, minimize pollution,
combat noise, reduce the risk of fire and protect life and property in
the event of fire.

Mineral wool: Production and properties describes the
technological process of mineral wool production and the physical
characteristics of the melt and theoretical bases of multiregression
and dimensionless theory. This is followed by the introduction of the
fibre cooling model in the blow-away flow and the influence of
temperature in the melt film (on the rotating centrifuge wheels) on
the thickness of forming fibres.

The second part predominantly focuses on the use of computer-aided
visualisation: tools for the diagnostics of fibre and primary layer
formation. Special attention is given to the study of aerodynamic
characteristics of the airflow which significantly influences the
quality of the final product.

Mineral wool: Production and properties is suitable for engineers,
researchers and for graduate and postgraduate students who want to
broaden their knowledge of experimental methods in this field.

Key Topics:

- Introduction

- Melting the raw materials

distribution in mineral wool produced by a double-wheel spinning
machine

- Formation of the primary layer

- Numerical analysis of flow properties in the collection chamber

- Quality of the primary layer and its influence on the final
product

- Curing chamber
