Computational Fluid Dynamics for Kiln Design

摘要

Nutec Bickley designs and fabricates kilns based on customer requests for numerous applications in the ceramic industry. Major manufacturers in the technical ceramics, sanitaryware, refractories, electroporcelain insulators among others have found in Nutec Bickley a great technological partner. At Nutec Bickley the most advanced methods in computer simulation are used to design kilns with great energy consumption, temperature uniformity among other important performance parameters. ANSYS Fluent, the leading product in computational fluid dynamics software (CFD), is used to simulate different kiln designs where different variables such number of burners, burner position, exhaust flue position among others are optimized based on the information given by the software after running the simulation process.
