Abstract:
In branches of industry too much energy consuming such as cement sector, controlled use of energy, only it is possible to know how energy is distributed in the system. In cement production process, a large portion of the heat losses which is due to energy consumption consist of convection and radiation heat losses from the surface of rotary kiln. In this study, empirical equation was derived for heat loss from surface of rotary kiln in a cement factory using empirical equations and statistical modeling techniques by the help of temperatures measured surface of rotary kiln. Measured with thermal cameras and the data necessary for experimental modeling was obtained the factory central control room. Total heat loss of system was calculated using Matlab. Statistical analysis related to results was carried out by Minitab 15.1.1 program. It was concluded that heat losses throughout rotary kiln increased toward the center of the kiln.
