Rheological investigations on free-flowing and cohesive powders in different states of Aeration, using a ball measuring system

摘要

For many industrial applications, knowing the bulk properties of powders is a crucial factor. Even though, the simulation of idealized, particulate systems has become state of the art, a comprehensive description of industrially utilized powders is still challenging, if not impossible. Conducting measurements is imperative to gain knowledge about the flow behavior of a powder, either for direct application in engineering, or for the validation of simulations.
