Modelling Steady and Transient Heat Transfer Through Cement Kiln

Description

Rotary kilns are an advanced thermal processing tool used for processing solid materials at extremely high temperatures.

Rotary kiln consist of brick at the internal lining, enclosed in the steel structure. Convective and radiative heat losses thought he kiln surface are often ignored.

These losses can be reduced by painting the kiln surface with a low emissivity paint. It can be estimated that that by painting the surface with a low emissivity paint the losses can be reduced to as much as much as 3%!
