Vibration-Induced Segregation in Bulk Solids Systems

Vibration-Induced Segregation in Bulk Solids Systems explains all of the individual mechanisms that influence segregation of granular media under vibration, and how they interact. Drawing on research from a wide range of academic disciplines, the book focuses on vibrated granular systems as they are used in industry, providing a guide that will solve practical problems as well as helping researchers. The applications of vibration-based segregation in industries including pharmaceuticals, mining, food, and chemical processing are all investigated with examples. All of the relevant theory behind the behavior of granular media and segregation processes is explained, along with investigations of the technologies and techniques which can be used to investigate them. Analyses all phenomena involved in vibration-based segregation of bulk solids, including those relating to size, material properties, and shapeExplores how different segregation mechanisms interactCompares different technologies for investigating granular media, including PIV, MRI, and x-ray tomographyExplains how to use computational techniques to model the behavior of granular media, including DM, CFD, and FEM INDICE: 1.
