The operation for Kiln 3 at a cement plant was stopped at 11.25pm due to red spot (brick failure).

This is because the primary function of the air channel pipe is said to shape the flame and swirl the air whilst introducing the coal dust, to enable efficient combustion.

Collision Damage Classification (CDC, per SAE MAR80 J224) is an excellent tool to provide a clear and concise description to the principal direction of force (PDoF) onto a motor vehicle during a vehicular accident investigation and reconstruction.
The standard was developed by the federal United States government to simplify the description of damage, where the direction of PDoF at point of impact (POI), vehicle deformation location, general type of collision, and damage scale are entailed and coded by numbers and letters.
