(99f) Impact of Particle Aspect Ratio On Tumble Mixing Performance

Particle Technology Forum
Mixing and Segregation of Particulates
Monday, November 9, 2009 - 2:10pm to 2:30pm
Particle Shape plays a consideration in tumble mixing. For flat or disc shaped particles, understanding when the mechanism of particles sliding dominates over rolling has an impact on flow regime and the mixing time of the segregated mixture. Data and models will be presented.
