Due to the variety of size and density of the particles in the feed, choosing how to segregate it before jigging is still a challenge. This article segregates the feed (with a size range of 3 to 8 mm) into the different states and then, simulates the jigging performance with the two-way coupling method of computational fluid dynamics and the discrete element method in 3 dimensions. In different states, the energy consumption and the number of cycles required for gravity concentration were compared, qualitatively. The simulation shows that the segregation of the jig feed into two size classes (3 to 4) and (5 to 8) mm decreases the energy consumption and the number of cycles. Therefore, the segregation state where the fine-grained part has a close size range and the coarse-grained part has a wide size range will have the lowest energy consumption and the number of cycles.Keywords: Feed segregationgravity concentrationtwo-way CFD-DEM couplingjiggingenergy consumption AcknowledgementThe authors are grateful to Central Complex Laboratory University of Kashan, Ultrafast Processing and Computing Center.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":19742,"journal":{"name":"Particulate Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136235007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, commonly used modeling approaches such as discrete element modeling (DEM) and direct numerical simulations (DNS) lack simplicity and have been computationally intensive. The aim of this paper is to develop a new approach to simulate solid transport in an incompressible Newtonian fluid flow. This method is based on the Finite element method with penalization of the deformation tensor. The fluid behavior is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations within the investigation domain. To take into account collisions, we present an algorithm which allows us to handle contacts between rigid particles. In this paper, 2D fluid/particles flow simulations are performed; the results are validated by comparison with results from other methods. We attempt to simulate the conveying of solid particles behavior of circular particles in a fluid flow inside a pipe.

This article presents a visual detection method for belt misalignment detection using real-time instance segmentation. An improved version of the You Only Look At CoeffcienTs (YOLACT) network is discussed, where the feature backbone of the original YOLACT network is optimized. The improved YOLACT network is used to experimentally detect the belt misalignment with different combinations of bulk solid and operating conditions. The results show that the detection precision of the improved YOLACT network achieves 86.05% mean Average Precision (mAP), in which the greatest improvement on the mAP is the FPN modification with an increase of 1.75% compared to the YOLACT network with the ResNeXt-50. In terms of the detection speed, the improved YOLACT network (15.19 Frames Per Second [FPS]) outperforms the Mask R-CNN (3.42 FPS) and the MS R-CNN (3.41 FPS). Moreover, the averaged detection error from the tests is 0.74 mm for a belt loaded with different bulk solids. It can be concluded that the application of the improved YOLACT network is effective for the real-time detection of conveyor belt misalignment.Keywords: Conveyor belt misalignmentvisual detectionfeature backboneimproved YOLACT Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work is financially supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No.: 52202500) and Hainan Institute at Wuhan University of Technology (Grant No.: 2021KF0028).","PeriodicalId":19742,"journal":{"name":"Particulate Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135779821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mesoscopic mechanical parameters of the soybean granular material were calibrated by comparing them with actual laboratory test results, and the validity of the modeling method was verified. Subsequently, the particle motion law and mechanical mechanism of the soybean granular materials were analyzed based on the particle displacement field, velocity field, and force chain network. The results showed that the coupled PFC–FLAC method could better describe the macroscopic stress–strain relationship, deformation damage characteristics, and shear strength mechanical indexes of soybean granular materials. With increasing confining pressure (50–200 kPa), the bulging deformation of the specimens changed from uniform to concentrated but uneven. The particle contact number and maximum particle contact stress increased by 19.3 and 48%, respectively. Additionally, variations of the macroscopic properties of the specimens with microscopic parameters were revealed. Under the same conditions, the change in the peak stress of the specimen was proportional to the interparticle friction coefficient. Moreover, the slope of the stress–strain curve increased gradually with an increase in the effective modulus.Keywords: Discrete element methodPFC–FLAC couplingsoybean granular materialtriaxial compressionnumerical simulation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the [Training Program for Young Backbone Teachers in Higher Education Institutions in Henan Province] under Grant [Number 2020GGJS086]; and [Henan Province Higher Education Key Research Project Plan] under Grant [Number 23A560001].","PeriodicalId":19742,"journal":{"name":"Particulate Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135824780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bubble movement behavior is an important factor affecting the fluidization stability. Fluidized bed measurement is an essential link in the bubble behavior study. As the main evaluation parameters, the concentration distribution and density distribution can reflect the bubble movement behavior. This work uses a noninvasive method of electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) for fluidized bed measurements, combined with COMSOL simulation validation for real-time imaging of bubbles in Geldart Group B magnetite powder particles. Meanwhile, the most suitable reconstruction algorithm for gas–solid separation fluidized bed is selected from three image reconstruction algorithms. And then concentration distribution and density distribution are analyzed. The results show that under reasonable gas velocity conditions (U–Umf =2.28 and 3.17 cm/s), the central region ([0, 1/4]) concentrations of [0.43–0.45] and [0.39–0.42] and densities of [1.98–2.06 g/cm3] and [1.86–1.96 g/cm3] are obtained by ECT measurements, respectively. Finally, the bed density obtained from the ECT sensors in the experiment was validated using three different bed density models. The error can be controlled to within 20%, which indicates that the ECT measurement method has a fairly high reliability and accuracy in dry coal beneficiation field.Keywords: Gas–solid fluidized bedelectrical capacitance tomography (ECT)bubble movement behaviorbed density Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe research work is financially supported by China National Funds for Distinguished Young Scientists (52125403), Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province (BK20200651), National Natural Science Foundation of China (52104276, 52261135540, 52220105008, 51974306), the Postgraduate Research & Practice Innovation Program of Jiangsu Province (KYCX23_2815); the Graduate Innovation Program of China University of Mining and Technology (2023WLKXJ065), the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (2023XSCX020).","PeriodicalId":19742,"journal":{"name":"Particulate Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136079977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One strategy for the quick and accurate detection of these components is to collect the particles magnetically after binding the components to the particle surface. We fabricated core–shell particles composed of a magnetic core and a thin polymer shell. The shell was incorporated with a fluorescent dye with glucose molecules immobilized on its surface. As the magnetic core, we selected Fe3O4 particles. Taking into consideration its low environmental impact, we adopted soap-free emulsion polymerization to form the polymer shell. Thus, methyl methacrylate was polymerized in the presence of Fe3O4 particles, octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, and rhodamine B to generate a glucose-capped fluorescent PMMA thin shell on the Fe3O4 particles. The resulting particles exhibited a saturation magnetization of ∼53 emu/g.

The results show that the length of the strong force chains is mostly about five particles, with fewer numbers, and their direction is primarily concentrated between 60° and 120°. Weak force chains are abundant and distributed uniformly in all directions.

The results have shown that the coarser particles have a greater tendency to sifting segregation, and the finer powders respond more to fluidization segregation. The angle of repose for the fine ash and coarse ash were 55° and 38°, respectively, which indicated poor to good flowability conditions. The flow function test shows that all the samples were in an easy-flowing to a free-flowing zone. The angle of repose and material flow function have provided a good correlation with the sifting segregation index. In contrast, cohesion between particles, the ratio of free terminal velocities and diameters for coarse to fine particles have shown a good fit with fluidization segregation indices. For both sifting and fluidization segregation, the model correlation values are 0.91 and 0.94, indicating the predicted results are a good fit to the experimental data.Keywords: Sifting and fluidization segregationsegregation indexangle of reposecohesionterminal settling velocity AcknowledgementThe authors acknowledge the collaboration between Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology (TIET) and Granutools (Belgium) for using the GranuHeap instrument.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":19742,"journal":{"name":"Particulate Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135482546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
