What does TUYER mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A nozzle or pipe through which a blast of air is forced into a furnace or forge to help fuel burn hotter.
A tuyer sits low in the wall of a blast furnace or a smith's forge, aiming compressed air directly into the burning fuel. Without a working tuyer the fire cannot reach the temperature needed to melt ore or soften metal, so foundries keep several spares on hand in case one clogs or burns through.
