A rotary kiln shell has to withstand harsh conditions. The steel and refractory lining structure is heated by a flame at 2000 C while the outside surface temperature is around 450 C, using significant temperature gradients. The refractory lining prevents the shell from excessive heating, but as brick failure eventually occurs, thermal
