Numerical Investigation of Industrial Glass Melting Furnace: Effect of Foam Layer on Glass Bath Temperature and Flow Kinematics

Abstract In glass furnaces, gas bubbles within the glass melt play a critical role due to their detrimental impact on heat transfer, particularly on radiation. Therefore, understanding bubble migration and addressing bubble accumulation at the melt surface is essential. To this e...

Domain adaptation and self-training for improved cross-batch classification of spectroscopic data: a comparative analysis of feature normalization techniques

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) enables sensitive, label-free chemical identification, but machine-learning models trained on a single acquisition session frequently underperform when applied to spectra from a different batch, owing to substrate, instrument, and sessio...
