Abstract
Cement production is a highly energy-intensive process, and the rotary kiln is the most important part of the process. Having a comprehensive model of the kiln in order to reduce manufacturing costs, better performance can be created. In this paper, the influence processes in a simulated cement rotary kiln and operating parameters on the output of the study were to develop and validate the systems using the same batch. The followings were examined: solid phase, gas and coating temperature change in a rotary kiln.
