💨 Dust Elutriation (Gas Velocity <4.5 m/s, Carryover Fines Loss <3.0%)

Rotary Kiln Dust Elutriation & Carryover Calculator

Model aerodynamic entrainment and terminal settling velocities ($v_t$) of fine calcined dust particles across the kiln gas flow path: optimize induced draft ($ID$) fan CFM to keep gas velocity $<4.5 ext{ m/s}$, reducing particulate carryover losses below $3.0%$, and dust recycling yields.
