Modelling and simulation of air turbulent in a rotary kiln incinerator using Reynolds stress and k-£ model / Hanafiah Zainal Abidin

Rotary kiln incinerator (RKI) is widely used in the treatment of hazardous wastes. However, the use of RKI in municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment is a new approach especially to use it for treatment of Malaysian MSW which typically contains more than 60% moisture and the waste is highly organic. N...
