Abstract
Rotary kiln is widely used for thermal disposal of solid waste due to its effectiveness and high efficiency in recent years. To further improve the processing efficiency, a newly designed rotary kiln with three-section structure is proposed, and the behaviours of particle motion and heat transfer are investigated. Firstly, a lab-scale rotary kiln is manufactured, and experiments are carried out. Verified by experimental data, a CFD-DEM numerical model is developed to analyze the particle motion and heat transfer characteristics with the effects of inlet flue gas temperature, feeding rate and rotating speed. The results show that the outlet temperature increases linearly with the flue gas temperature, while it is negatively correlated with the feeding rate and rotating speed. In addition, the volumetric heat transfer coefficient in this complex rotary kiln is analyzed, the overall heat transfer coefficient is between 200 and 700 W/(m3 K).
期刊介绍:
The word ‘particuology’ was coined to parallel the discipline for the science and technology of particles.
Particuology is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes frontier research articles and critical reviews on the discovery, formulation and engineering of particulate materials, processes and systems. It especially welcomes contributions utilising advanced theoretical, modelling and measurement methods to enable the discovery and creation of new particulate materials, and the manufacturing of functional particulate-based products, such as sensors.
Papers are handled by Thematic Editors who oversee contributions from specific subject fields. These fields are classified into: Particle Synthesis and Modification; Particle Characterization and Measurement; Granular Systems and Bulk Solids Technology; Fluidization and Particle-Fluid Systems; Aerosols; and Applications of Particle Technology.
Key topics concerning the creation and processing of particulates include:
-Modelling and simulation of particle formation, collective behaviour of particles and systems for particle production over a broad spectrum of length scales
-Mining of experimental data for particle synthesis and surface properties to facilitate the creation of new materials and processes
-Particle design and preparation including controlled response and sensing functionalities in formation, delivery systems and biological systems, etc.
-Experimental and computational methods for visualization and analysis of particulate system.
These topics are broadly relevant to the production of materials, pharmaceuticals and food, and to the conversion of energy resources to fuels and protection of the environment.
