International Classification:

G01N 17/00

US Classification:

738656

Abstract:

Various examples are provided for dynamic simulation of wind velocity and pressure. In one embodiment, among others, a dynamic wind simulator includes a fan and a fast-acting damper connected to an inlet of the fan. The fast-acting damper configured to modulate airflow provided by the fan at frequencies up to 10 Hz. In another embodiment, a system includes a fan and an air outlet path of the fan connected to a testing assembly configured to support a specimen for testing. An air inlet path of the fan includes a fast-acting damper configured to modulate airflow provided by the fan to the testing assembly at frequencies up to 10 Hz. The testing assembly may include a pressure chamber and/or a test section.

Abstract:

A system and method for controlling operations of a cement kiln plant. The system comprises first and second processing logic. The first processing logic is configured to perform an integrated modeling computer program comprising a Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory (VCCTL) modeling computer program and a virtual cement plant (VCP) modeling computer program. The first processing logic receives output of the VCP modeling computer program and imports the output into the VCCTL modeling computer program. The second processing logic is configured to perform one or more multi-objective metaheuristic optimization computer programs on output of the integrated modeling computer program to adjust control parameters that are used to control the operations of the cement kiln plant. The integrated model can provide a quantitative optimization tool for different energy efficiency measures addressed from cement plants and reduce energy, material consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without losing the performance of material.
