TWA07 Characterization of Bulk Solids for Handling Purposes - I
OverviewPapers are invited that address the following topics relating to the characterization of bulk solids for handling purposes. *Cohesive strength, wall friction, bulk density, and lateral stress measurement for silo design *Techniques to characterize the behavior of powders for purposes other than silo design, such as segregation propensity, dustiness, tapped bulk density, etc. *Time consolidation effects on powders. *Fluidization behavior as a characterization technique *Methods to predict pneumatic conveying behavior *Prediction of attrition and abrasion from bulk testing *Case histories of characterization of bulk solids for handling purposes
