Experimental investigation of the packing structure of multi-sized spheres with liquid addition
The packing of multi-sized wet spheres is highly intricate, shaped by the interplay of interparticle forces induced by the presence of liquid. This study presents a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of the microscopic particle arrangement within a multi-sized wet sphere packing. To achieve this, a multi-sized wet sphere packing is obtained experimentally and is then characterized by various analytical techniques, in terms of coordination number (CN), pair correlation function (PCF), topological and metric properties of the Voronoi-Delaunay tessellation. Through CN and PCF analysis, distinctive packing features such as agglomerates and particle chains are identified and characterized. Furthermore, the application of the Voronoi and Delaunay tessellation techniques uncovers the existence of heterogeneous clusters of particles in contact and non-contact states. These tessellation methods also shed light on the distorted pore structure that emerges within the packing. The insights gained from this study may serve to enhance the assessment and development of innovative simulation methods where capillary and liquid-related forces acting on wet particles with a size distribution are considered.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
