N2 - This article uses a two-dimensional phenomenological model representing the dynamic behaviour of a clinker kiln, and includes another model to estimate the height of the solid material (crude) inside the kiln. These models are parameterized according to design specifications and operating conditions of a real industrial kiln, which belongs to a cement production plant. The whole model consists of 16 partial differential equations, one ordinary nonlinear differential equation and a set of algebraic equations, and is computationally simulated using the finite elements method. The model allows analyzing temperature profiles in the kiln, as well as qualitative characteristics associated with fractions of final components in the clinker production.
