Modelling and optimization of a rotary kiln direct reduction process

Transient Modelling of a Rotary-Kiln Pyrolyser

The increasing interest in small-scale renewable-energy plants for distributed power generation has led to a demand for suitable software tools to study and develop control systems able to manage advanced integrated systems. Biomass, as a renewable energy resource, needs to be processed if it is to be exploited in small CHP units and pyrolysis is one of the options available for transforming so...

Modelling heat transfer through a novel design of rotary kiln

A novel form of rotary kiln has been developed which confers advantages over conventional designs. Details are given of the main features of the kiln, along with an approach used to study its heat transfer characteristics when hot processing waste products into a lightweight synthetic aggregate for recycling in building materials. Computer aided ®nite element modelling was used to predict tempe...

The numerical modelling and process simulation for the fault diagnosis of rotary kiln incinerator.

The numerical modelling and process simulation for the fault diagnosis of rotary kiln incinerator were accomplished. In the numerical modelling, two models applied to the modelling within the kiln are the combustion chamber model including the mass and energy balance equations for two combustion chambers and 3D thermal model. The combustion chamber model predicts temperature within the kiln, fl...

Modelling of the Fuel Stream and Combustion in a Rotary-kiln Hazardous Waste Incinerator

Hazardous wastes from various industrial processes are normally incinerated with rotary kilns in order to comply with current environmental regulations. They have often very complicated chemical compositions in a variety of physical forms and difficult to characterise. The complex transport phenomena within the incinerator are not well understood, and the incineration process expects large unce...
