Abstract
An experimental study of the characteristics and the behavior of flames, and the aerodynamic flow pattern was carried out in the present work on a down draft kiln for gas firing. The aim of this work is to establish a behavior of flames and to know the extent to which the flow pattern is affected by the height of baffle plate. The measurements of temperature, concentrations of fuelgas, and kiln pressure were conducted at different temperature in kiln, and at different height of baffle plate. From the obtained results, it was found that the characteristics of thestagnation zone are greatly affected when changing over the height of baffle plate, and the best condition of that was 115m/m.
