Title: Mathematical Modeling of Combustion in Rotary Kilns
Summary:
The presentation will describe the Rotary Kiln and the modeling of the processes inside this equipment. The rotary kiln is a heavy equipment which is used at the mineral processing industry, especially cement fabrication, to the calcination of materials at very high temperatures. The heat input to the process is based on the combustion of several types of fuels. Therefore, inside the rotary kiln we can identify many physical and chemical processes which can be mathematically modeled and enable the simulation of the equipment operation under different conditions. The use of high-end CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) represents the ultimate application of that mathematical modeling.
Dynamis intends to present a practical case: the modeling of the world’s largest Nickel Ore Calcining Kiln.
