Explanation:

Step1

Lehr is the long open or closed insulated space for glass manufacturing. Lehr must be large enough to keep the cooling of glass uniform. The function of Lehr is the same as an annealing process in metallurgy.

Step2

Lehr decrease the cooling and temperature variation in glass production. Uneven temperature creates the internal stress in the glass. Lehr reduces the internal stress in the glass product. So, the main purpose of the Lehr is to reduce the internal stress and keep the cooling uniform.

State 1:

$\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{1}=1.25 \text { bar } \\\text { Sat - vapour }\end{array}\right\} \begin{array}{l}h_{1}=234.45 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \\S_{1}=0.9346 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kgk}\end{array}$

State 2:

$\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{2}=5 \text { bor } \\S_{2}=S_{1}\end{array}\right\} \quad h_{2}=262.78 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}$

State 3:

$\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{3}=5 \text { bar } \\\text { Sat }-4 q\end{array}\right\} h_{3}=71-33 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}$
