Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental study of transverse bed motion in rotary kilns
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of variables such as rotational speed, bed depth, cylinder diameter, particle size, and particle shape on bed motion has been determined, and the scaling of bed behavior with respect to particle size and cylinder diameter requires similarity of Froude number modified by(D/d p)1/2, and pct fill.
Journal ArticleDOI
The modeling of transverse solids motion in rotary kilns
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a model to predict the conditions giving rise to the different forms of transverse bed motion in a rotary cylinder: slumping, rolling, slipping, cascading, cataracting, and centrifuging.
Journal ArticleDOI
A heat-transfer model for the rotary kiln: Part II. Development of the cross-section model
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of rotary kiln heat transfer, which accounts for the interaction of all the transport paths and processes, is presented in a three-part series, and the development of a unified model for heat transfer at a kiln cross-section is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
A heat-transfer model for the rotary kiln: Part I. pilot kiln trials
TL;DR: In this article, a model for rotary kiln heat transfer, which accounts for the interaction of all the transport paths and processes, is presented in a three-part series.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Experimental Study of Segregation in Rotary Kilns
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study has been conducted to elucidate the mechanism of radial segregation in the bed of a rotary kiln and to determine the size and composition of the segregated core.
