Transient study during clay bricks cooking in the traditional kiln; CFD numerical study

Traditional technologies for clay brick burning are often confronted with firing problems. The produced brick is of poor quality due to poor combustion inside the kiln. So that, cooking plays an important role because it determines the quality of the final product. Therefore, this work presents a tr...
