TWC07 Rapid Granular Flows in Chutes, Channels and Feeders
OverviewOver 50% of the chemicals in today's markets involve powder processing and usually involve rapid granular unit operations. This session will focus on experimental and theoretical research involving the mechanics and measurement of rapid moving particles in chutes, channels and feeders. Papers on the role of humidity, cohesion, reaction, etc. on granular flow are welcomed.
