Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Total available gas-to-bed heat transfer rate = 115000000
  • Thermal efficiency of heat utilization in calcination zone = 0.76
  • Specific enthalpy of clinker formation (including calcination and solid-state reactions) = 3250000
  • Specific enthalpy for evaporation of raw meal moisture = 2450000
  • Specific enthalpy for preheating raw meal from ambient to ~900°C = 1120000

Expected Result:

  • Clinker production rate = 12.815249266862

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Clinker production rate = 12.815249266862 kg/s.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.

Formula / Method
