Understanding particle attrition is vital to the optimisation of a wide range of industrial
processes. Lean phase pneumatic conveying is one such process, whereby the high energy …

The influence of rotating particles on surface damage should be considered to improve the
accuracy of erosion prediction. In the present study, numerical simulations were carried out …

A new predictive model for the wear rate of metals during solid particle impact erosion is
presented. The model proposes that erosion rate is related to the product of toughness (UT) …

It has long been recognised that particle spin may have a significant effect on the impact
erosion rate, particularly of ductile metals. However, no work has previously been carried out …

Fine particles originating from a mixture of erodent particles or being the residues of broken
particles, might retain on the surface of an eroded material by electrostatic field. This results …

Pin on disc tribometer is a device to determine coefficient of friction and wear rate of the
different materials. There is a need to design a tribometer as per standards for different …

An understanding of particle dynamics is important when determining material erosive wear
in any erosion tester, because particle impact conditions are primarily influenced by particle …

The gas-blast and centrifugal-accelerator testers are the two most commonly used erosion
testers. An experimental and analytical study was made of the effect of particle …

Particles (such as sand and debris) employed in exploitation and conveying systems in oil
and gas industry often cause erosion in equipment and pipe fittings. Since erosion is a …

In order to find a link between results obtained from a laboratory erosion tester and tests
carried out on a pneumatic conveyor, a comparison has been made between weight loss …
