Where in the process of making this Raw Mix there are changes in quality. Therefore, researchers want to know the main problems that exist in the differences in the quality of different Raw Mixes.

After being replaced, the quality of the Raw Mix is obtained which meets the standards and the total balance value of the Mass Balance is 606124.31 tonnes/hour and the total heat lost is 0.071 KJ.
