## Abstract

We present a 2D model for a grate belt cooler in the pyro-section of a cement plant. The model is formulated as an index-1 differential-algebraic equation (DAE) model based on first engineering principles. The model systematically integrates thermo-physical aspects, transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, mass and energy balances, and algebraic volume and energy relations. The model is used for dynamic simulation of the cooler and the paper provides dynamic and steady-state simulation results matching the expected behavior. The cooler model is one part of a full pyro-section model for dynamical simulations. The model can serve as a basis for the design of optimization and control systems towards improving energy efficiency and CO2 emission.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
