Digital Imaging Enables Researchers to Take a Kiln’s Temperature Without Getting Burned

Carl Duchesne, a professor of chemical engineering at Université Laval in Quebec City, and graduate student Gerard-Silard Szatvanyi have developed a method that promises to get around measurement problems associated with taking the temperature of materials in a rotary kiln. They take a color digital picture of the flame and subject it to multivariate image analysis. Multivariate regression analysis of images acquired of the flames within a rotary-style kiln helps predict discharge temperatures without having to access the oven’s interior or the material being processed. Within a flame...Read full article
