A non linear model proposed by Perron and Bui (1994), which focuses on the dynamics of slow mode to predict the transient response induced by step changes in operating variables in the motion of the granular bed in a rotary kiln, was validated for different experimental conditions. The variables include feed rate of solids, inclination and rotational speed of the kiln, and dam height. The validity of the model for step changes in two or more variables at a time was also verified.
