Numerical Analyses of Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Coal Depot and Mill

The paper presents CFD analyses performed during the design phase of a coal mill and a coal depot in a cement factory situated at eastern Adriatic coast. Analyses of the thermal distribution within the enclosed coal depot have been performed in order to achieve proper air distribution and to avoid increased temperatures which could lead to the coal self - ignition. Analyses of buoyancy forced air flow through the coal mill have been performed in order to find proper conditions for natural ventilation and avoid excessive air temperatures within the building. Simulation results have proven that both tasks could be solved with natural ventilation.
