Rotary Cement Kiln Energy Usage

Event/Process Temperature Range (°C) Energy (kcal/kg clinker) 

Theoretical minimum process heat required to form 1 kg of clinker 420 

Heat Loss/Transfer Kcal/kg Clinker Percent of Total (800 kcal/kg basis) 

Cement kilns have been successfully modeled using the chemistry described above with the one-dimensional zone method for radiation heat transfer (Guruz and Bac, 1981) with plausible results. They have also been recently combined in commercial CFD packages for example that offered by CINAR. Mastorakos et al. (1999) modeled the chemistry
