Rotary drums play a vital role in the thermal treatment of granular materials in processes
such as calcination and drying in various industries. Baffles/flights in rotary drums are …

In this study, discrete element method (DEM) simulations were performed to investigate how
baffles regulate heat transfer in a rotary drum. In order to scale up the system, we …

The motion of non-spherical particles with sharp edges, as they are commonly involved in
practice, was characterized by residence time distribution (RTD) measurement in a …

This study examines the effect of cohesive particle properties and rotary drum operating
conditions on heat transfer. Simulations were performed using the Discrete Element Method …

Non-spherical particles are widely processed in industrial-scale rotary kilns. There is
nonetheless a lack of simple tools that make it possible to predict their hydrodynamic …

Fracture in a revolving tube due to creep deformation and thermal-mechanical fatigue is a
growing concern in industrial equipment research and production, especially after long-term …

Granular materials and powders often require thermal treatment in the food, mineral,
pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Rotating drums (kilns) are common devices for the …

The calcination atmosphere and calcination temperature within the calciner play crucial
roles in the catalyst production process. Optimal calcination conditions are conducive to …
