Fluidization of Fine Powders
Cohesive versus Dynamical Aggregation
Language: English
Release Date: October 12, 2012
This book covers the rich phenomenology exhibited by fine powders when they are fluidized by a gas flow. Fine powder cohesiveness leads to poor flowability, clumping, difficulty in fluidizing, irregular avalanching behavior, etc. Despite all the inconveniences, fine powder processes pervade the chemical,...
