Steel production is considered as one of the major backbones of many economies. Though
blast furnace is the primary route of steel production, the industries are willing to alternatives …

Fluidized bed has gained popularity in the renewable energy industry due to its superior
thermochemical conversion efficiency. Investigating the flow patterns inside the fluidized bed …

Rigorous non-linear models of elasto-plastic contact deformation are time-consuming in
numerical calculations for the distinct element method (DEM) and quite often unnecessary to …

The characterisation of bulk behaviour of cohesive powders is very important in processing
of particulate solids, eg for reliable powder flow out of storage vessels. For filling and dosing …

Poor powder flow leads to many problems during manufacturing and can lead to inaccurate
dosing and off-specification products. Powder flowability is commonly assessed under …

Desliming screens separate coal slimes from coarse coal, which are treated separately in
different unit operations. Misplacements of undersize and oversize significantly hampers the …

Triboelectric separation has gained importance as a dry separator for mineral and coal
beneficiation. The different grade components of coal powder can be classified …

A new era of particle breakage simulation has started recently with the advancement in
discrete element method (DEM). Prediction of the breakage distribution as a function of …

Ball indentation is a technique capable of assessing powder flowability down to very low
consolidation stresses (≤ 1 kPa). With this method, powder flowability is determined by …

In order to create a model, input parameters need to be provided. The basic step for
obtaining these parameters is the execution of the appropriate experimental tests …
