Particle Technology And Engineering An Engineer S Guide To Particles And Powders Fundamentals And Computational Approaches

Particle Technology and Engineering: An Engineer's Guide to Particles, Powders and Multiphase Systems presents the basic knowledge and fundamental concepts that are needed by engineers dealing with particles and powders. Users will find a comprehensive reference and introduction to important topics, ranging from single particle characterization to bulk powder properties and complex multiphase gas-solid-liquid systems. It emphasizes quantitative explanation and theoretical concepts, and contains numerous case studies of practical applications. The book is structured into four parts beginning with basic information on single particle properties and their interaction with solids and gas/liquids, the fundamental characteristics of bulk solids (powders), the principles of multiphase systems, including fluidization and pneumatic conveying, and advanced numerical methods and measurement techniques for particle engineering. Four thorough sections provide readers with coverage of core topics, including particle mechanics and characterization, characterization and mechanics of bulk solids, multiphase particle engineering, and advanced particle engineering Practical focus is supported by worked examples, case studies and applied topics Enables engineers to build their knowledge and skills to understand and work with particulate systems
