Abstract
The design of the ride-rings, or tyres, of industrial rotary kilns is studied as a nonlinear programming problem. The method of monotonicity analysis is employed to obtain results of sufficient generality and utility to the designer. A special-purpose algorithm for the location of the global optimum is presented. A parametric study provides design charts showing the range of criticallity for the various design requirements. The article represents the type of modeling analysis and subsequent solution, suitable for design problems which must be solved many times with parameter changes larger than those handled with the usual sensitivity analysis.
