Abstract: The high temperature Steam Pipes used in Rotary kiln is to activate charcoal in activated carbon industry. High temperature Steam is the heart of activation process which is continuously and uniformly distributed in the activation zone. Aim of this study is to analyze the fracture produced in the steam pipe in heat affected zone during the process. Analysis was performed in two types of pipes such as pipes having straight holes and without holes using finite element analysis method. Total deformation, equivalent stress and temperature distributions were determined to analyze the failure.
Keywords: Rotary Kiln, Failure Analysis, Steam Pipe, Deformation, Equivalent Stress.
