whose suggestions got this paper off the ground and gave it direction. The paper has also benefitted from comments from The contributions of innovations, factor endowments and institutions to American industrialisation are examined through analysing the rise of the American portland cement industry. Minerals abundance contributed in multiple ways to the spectacular rise during the 1890s. Howeve...

A distribution of particle sizes or particle size distribution (PSD) is a fundamental characteristic of cement powder. Accurate PSDs are required in computational efforts to model the hydration process and it is an important practical issue for the cement industry. Presently, the only available standard method for measuring the PSD of cement, namely ASTM C115, is limited in scope, with a lower ...

Currently, computational fluid dynamics has become the primary method for analyzing flow state inside machine. Herein, Ansys Fluent software is used to design a more effective oil-field device, namely, gas–liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC)-horizontal combined separator. The characteristics of mixed flow, turbulence intensity, and phase volume fraction distribution are analyzed, factors affectin...

Gravity-driven separators are broadly used in various engineering applications to remove particulate matters from gaseous fluids meet legislation demands. This study represents a detailed numerical investigation of two-phase cyclone separator using the Eulerian–Lagrangian gas flow method. The turbulence is modelled Reynolds stress model (RSM). technique has successfully predicted typical trends...

This paper describes the present situation of waste and by-products utilization in cement manufacturing in Japan, introduces Ecocement which is a new cement using municipal waste incinerator ash from household activities as the primary raw material, and discusses the contribution expected of the cement industry in establishing a resource recycling-based society in this country.

A first principles model of a cement grinding circuit is developed for the purpose of multi-variable model predictive control (MPC). The model is based on a series of mixed flow reactors with an ideal screen to model flow between the two chambers in the ball mill. The separator is modelled by efficiency curves. Breakage of the particles is modelled as a first order process in terms of functions...

The separation efficiency and pressure drop of the dynamic separator cement particles can be affected by many factors, like structural type, geometric parameters, operating characteristics. In this paper, CFD modeling is applied to investigate fluid flow behavior industrial with different heights inner cone called vortex breaker. Simulations are based on RSM DPM models. A comparison original de...
