Abstract:
Whereas particle size and its importance is often stressed, the shape of particulate materials is often not considered in detail even though there is plenty of evidence that it is crucial for operations like transport, mixing, and fluidisation. In this study, we experimentally determine the influence of particle shape on fundamental bulk characteristics of process-engineering interest. Well-defined particles of seven different shapes but equal volume are used which are manufactured by sel...     »
