CFD Analysis of Thermal and Flow Characteristics inside the Chlorine By-pass Probe of an Industrial Cement Rotary Kiln

Key Points

• This research aims to analyze the gas behavior within a chlorine bypass probe in a cement rotary kiln for effective chlorine removal.
• Conducted CFD analysis of gas flow inside the bypass probe.
• Examined high-temperature gas distribution at 10% bypass rate.
• Adjusted outlet pressure conditions through iterative numerical studies.
• Identified that high-temperature gas forms a distinct pattern along the probe centerline.
• Noted a significant recirculation zone above the main outlet due to geometric design and cooling air.
• Observations indicate that the highest temperature was detected near the probe's outlet.
