4. Sizing dry process furnaces
4.1 Theoretical method
The proposed calculation method is a two-stage process:
first, an initial assessment of the furnace diameter is made, based on the desired production (P 1 ), using the law of material transport inside a rotating, inclined tube ;
in a second step, reconciling the heat exchange capacity and the energy requirements for clinkerization enables a second evaluation of the kiln output (P 2 ); this evaluation is based on the diameter estimated above, taking an arbitrary kiln length of 16.4 D i , of which 12 D i ...
