Numerical Simulation of the Fin Impact on the Cooling of the Shell of a Rotary Kiln

This work consists of a numerical study thermally stressed rotary kiln shell part in cement plant. The simulations are performed by using the finite volume method for discretization and simple algorithm resolution. velocity air injection, its temperature, rotational main parameters under investigation. distribution velocity, pressure, as well evolution Nusselt number determined. In second step this study, fins inserted on to examine their effect cooling. results analysis shows that insertion has significant influence decrease temperature shell’s external surface. depends significantly injection rate, not bit less rotating kiln. To avoid overloading our equipment (weight shell), only four distributed around added explore effect.
