Book Description
Particle Technology and Engineering presents the basic knowledge and fundamental concepts that are needed by engineers dealing with particles and powders. The book provides a comprehensive reference and introduction to the topic, ranging from single particle characterization to bulk powder properties, from particle-particle interaction to particle-fluid interaction, from fundamental mechanics to advanced computational mechanics for particle and powder systems. The content focuses on fundamental concepts, mechanistic analysis and computational approaches. The first six chapters present basic information on properties of single particles and powder systems and their characterisation (covering the fundamental characteristics of bulk solids (powders) and building an understanding of density, surface area, porosity, and flow), as well as particle-fluid interactions, gas-solid and liquid-solid systems, with applications in fluidization and pneumatic conveying. The last four chapters have an emphasis on the mechanics of particle and powder systems, including the mechanical behaviour of powder systems during storage and flow, contact mechanics of particles, discrete element methods for modelling particle systems, and finite element methods for analysing powder systems. This thorough guide is beneficial to undergraduates in chemical and other types of engineering, to chemical and process engineers in industry, and early stage researchers. It also provides a reference to experienced researchers on mathematical and mechanistic analysis of particulate systems, and on advanced computational methods. - Provides a simple introduction to core topics in particle technology: characterisation of particles and powders: interaction between particles, gases and liquids; and some useful examples of gas-solid and liquid-solid systems - Introduces the principles and applications of two useful computational approaches: discrete element modelling and finite element modelling - Enables engineers to build their knowledge and skills and to enhance their mechanistic understanding of particulate systems

The Science and Engineering of Granulation Processes
Author: Jim Litster
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401705461
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
This book had its origins in a meeting between two (relatively) young particle technology researchers on Rehobeth Beach in Delaware in 1992 near the holiday house of Reg Davies (then Director of the Particle Science and Technology Research Center in Dupont). As we played in the sand, we shared an excitement for developments in particle technology, especially particle characterization, that would lead operations such as granulation to be placed on a sound scientific and engineering footing. The immediate outcome from this interaction was the development of new industry short courses in granulation and related topics which we taught together both in Australia and North America. This book follows closely the structure and approaches developed in these courses, particularly the emphasis on particle design in granulation, where the impact of both formulation properties and process variables on product attributes needs to be understood and quantified. The book has been a long time in the making. We have been actively preparing the book for at least five years. Although the chapters have relatively good bibliographies, this book is not a review of the field. Rather it is an attempt by the authors to present a comprehensive engineering approach to granulator design, scale up and operation. It is exciting for us to see the explosion of research interest around the world in this area in the last five to seven years. Some of the most recent work will have to find its way into the second edition.

Fundamentals of Particle Technology
Author: Richard Holdich
Publisher: MidlandIT
ISBN: 0954388127
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Fundamentals of Particle Technology is designed to assist the understanding of how particulate materials behave during processing and is written with engineers and scientists, who are new to the subject, in mind. It is accessible, in both cost and style, and is illustrated with numerous line diagrams. Most of the 16 chapters end with questions in multiple choice format. This helps problem decomposition and the reader can see each step required to arrive at an overall process solution. If the reader makes a mistake with any of the steps he, or she, usually does not see their answer and will immediately know where they have gone wrong. The aspects of Particle Technology covered include: particle characterisation, solid/liquid and solid/gas separations, fluidisation, flow of (and in) dispersions, powder mixing, storage, hazards, crushing and colloidal interaction. Extensive Internet support and referencing is provided. The teaching style adopted is the result of experience gained from presenting the subject for over 30 years at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Superfine Particle Technology
Author: Noboru Ichinose
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1447118081
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
If a substance is repeatedly subdivided, the result is what are known as "microscopic particles". These particles are distinguished from the solid mass which they originally formed by the size of the surface area per unit weight. This simple difference holds true down to a certain lower size limit, and when this limit is exceeded, a new state of matter is reached, in which the behavior of the particles is quite different to that of the original solid. Particles in this state are termed "superfine particles", and are distinct from ordinary particles. The size of the superfine particles, that is to say the size limit below which particle behavior is completely different from the behavior of the original solid, varies a good deal depending on the physical properties of the substance in question. Properties such as magnetism and electrical resistance are closely related to the internal structural properties of the particles themselves, such as the magnetization processes of their respective magnetic domains, and the mean free path of charged bodies. This internal structure therefore limits the size of the superfine particles. In ceramic processing, on the other hand, the surface area of the particles themselves becomes an even more important factor than their internal structure. In this case, the size of the superfine particles is determined by the interaction between water and solvents on the surface of the particles.

Particle Breakage
Author: Agba D. Salman
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 008055346X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1241
Book Description
Particle breakage is an important process within a wide range of solids processing industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, agricultural and mining. Breakage of particles can be defined as intentional and unintentional, depending on whether it is desired or not. Through understanding of the science and underlying mechanisms behind this phenomenon, particle breakage can be either minimised or encouraged within an efficient and effective process. Particle Breakage examines particle breakage at three different length scales, ranging from single particle studies through groups of particles and looking at solid processing steps as a whole. This book is the widest ranging book in the field and includes the most up-to-date techniques such as Distinct Element Method (DEM), Monte Carlo simulations and Population Balance Equations (PBE). This handbook provides an overview of the current state-of-the- art and particle breakage. From the small scale of a single particle, to the study of whole processes for breakage; both by experimental study and mathematical modelling.* Covering a wide range of subjects and industrial applications* Allows the reader an understanding of the science behind engineered breakage processes* Giving an unrestrictive and interdisciplinary approach
