The book concentrates on powder flow properties, their measurement and applications. These topics are explained starting from the interactions between individual particles up to the design of silos. A wide range of problems are discussed – such as flow obstructions, segregation, and vibrations. The goal is to provide a deeper understanding of the powder flow, and to show practical solutions.
This book provides an introduction into bulk solids technology starting from the flow properties of particulate solids to the flow of powders and bulk solids in hoppers, bins, and silos. Besides the basics some newer findings are also included. Furthermore, frequent questions that have been addressed
to the author in the past are taken into account. The level of the book should make it well-suited to a wide range of readers who are interested in an introduction into the topic.
