Abstract: This paper considers interstitial fluid pressure as an additional characteristic effecting bulk solids flowability. It describes a method for improving flow control of cement, powdered coal, sand, ...

Abstract: Theory and proof are presented here related to fluid pressure control of bulk solids flowability. They are directed toward a quantitative design goal for fluid-solids flow systems. An effort ...

Abstract: A properly designed hopper provides cost control through increased unloading reliability, improved storage space utilization, steadier discharge rates, and improved blending of discharged materials. ...

Abstract: Hypotheses are presented here for improving bulk solids flowability. They are directed toward a quantitative design goal for gas-solids flow systems. An effort is made to relate gas control in ...
