Mathematical Model for Heat Transfer Simulation of Rotary Alumina Kiln

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to kiln structure and material movement features, considering convective, radioactivity, conductivity and various phase change and chemical reactions, a series of comprehensive models are built for quantifying the thermal fluxes from the gas to the material bed and the heat loss from outer shell to the atmosphere in the rotary alumina kiln. The results show that the temperatures of outer shell accord with test results; the temperature distribution rule of gas is the same with that of materials, but the gas temperatures are higher; it is feasible to use the model to improve alumina kiln performance.
