Abstract
Gas permeation and consequent powder consolidation during gas pressurization process easily cause deterioration of powder flowability. The effects of pressurization rate and powder properties on gas permeation and powder consolidation were investigated to reveal the change mechanism of powder flow properties in a sealed silo. The permeation time and gas velocity within the powder were examined to acquire the gas permeation characteristics at different pressurization rates. The distribution and evolution laws of powder stress were explored during the gas pressurization process. The powder stress during gas pressurization was more than 100 times that without aeration. A formula was derived for calculating the powder stresses and the results were compared with experimental data to confirm the consolidation mechanism. Based on the evolution of consolidation stress, the variation of the powder flow properties at different pressurization rates was revealed. The tensile strength of the powder and its change law in the gas pressurization process were examined with an adhesion force model.
期刊介绍:
Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics, micro-mechanics, and computational science.
These modern tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations.
>> Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the literature. Physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers or other fields - and vice versa.
The journal Granular Matter thus serves as an interdisciplinary platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research on granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields. Notwithstanding, highly applied or technical work is beyond the scope of this journal.
