Effect of impeller structure on the particle flow and adhesion behavior in a vertical intensive granulator
Performance optimization of a granulator is an important issue in many industrial applications dealing with granular matter. This work investigates how the particle flow and adhesion behavior in a vertical intensive granulator are affected by four structural parameters: blade type, impeller offset, blade number, and thread pitch. The DEM model was validated by comparing the impeller torque and adhesion behavior of particles. The particle velocity field, velocity fluctuation, coordinate number (CN), the relative standard deviation of contact number (RSDC) were used to quantify the particle dynamics and adhesion behavior. It was found that the particle velocity agitated by thread blade is lower than arc and straight blades; the particle velocity and velocity fluctuation increase with the decrease of impeller offset. Increasing the blade number and thread pitch leads to an increase in the particle velocity. Results obtained indicate that the thread blade with an impeller offset of 55 mm and a thread pitch of 80 mm has the best adhesion behavior, and the adhesion behavior decreases with the increase of blade number.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
