Powders and Bulk Solids

Focusing on the measurement and application of powder flow properties, this book delves into various challenges such as flow obstructions and segregation. It outlines the fundamentals of bulk solids flow, including particle interactions, stress, and friction, while introducing measurement techniques like shear testers. Practical solutions for designing effective bulk solid containers, including bins and silos, are provided. Additionally, it addresses the technical aspects of silo design, stress assessment, and methods to mitigate segregation and vibrations.
