Use of Hot-Wire Anemometry for Measuring the Nanopowder Flow Velocity

摘要

A new technique for measuring the flow velocity of nano-scale powders is used. The hotwire anemometry method widely used in gas flows is employed for investigating nanopowder flows. By way of illustration, the flows of nanopowders of aluminum oxide C and silicon dioxide aerosil A-90 and A-380 in a vertical channel are studied. The results obtained show that nanoscale powder flow investigation by means of the hot-wire anemometry is promising.
