Description

Segregation in Vibrated Granular Systems explains the individual mechanisms that influence the segregation of granular media under vibration, along with their interactions. Drawing on research from a wide range of academic disciplines, the book focuses on vibrated granular systems that are used in industry, providing a guide that will solve practical problems and help researchers. The applications of vibration-based segregation in industries, including pharmaceuticals, mining, food and chemical processing are all investigated with appropriate examples. In addition, relevant theory behind the behavior of granular media and segregation processes is explained, along with investigations of the technologies and techniques used.

Key Features

  • Analyzes all phenomena involved in the vibration-based segregation of bulk solids, including those relating to size, material properties and shape
  • Explores how different segregation mechanisms interact
  • Compares different technologies for investigating granular media, including PIV, MRI and X-ray tomography
  • Explains how to use computational techniques to model the behavior of granular media, including DM, CFD and FEM

Readership

Engineers working in the mining, pharmaceutical, agriculture, food processing, ceramics, powder metallurgy, plastics, oil, gas and chemical processing industries; also graduate students and researchers in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, physics, and geophysics with an interest in granular flow
