Particle Technology and Engineering - An Engineer's Guide to Particles and Powders: Fundamentals and Computational Approaches (Hardcover)

This book presents the basic knowledge and fundamental concepts that are needed by engineers dealing with particles and powders. The book provides a comprehensive reference and introduction to the topic, ranging from single particle characterization to bulk powder properties to complex multiphase gas-solid-liquid systems. The book has an emphasis on quantitative explanation and theoretical concepts, supported throughout by cased studies of practical applications. The book is structured into four parts. Part I presents basic information on single particle properties and their interaction with solids and gas/liquids. Theoretical models and quantitative concepts related to single particle are stressed in this section. Part II covers the fundamental characteristics of bulk solids (powders), and builds an understanding of density, surface area, porosity, flow and mechanics. Part III discusses the principles of multiphase systems, including fluidization, pneumatic conveying. Part IV focuses on advanced numerical methods and measurement techniques for particle engineering. The book will be suitable for postgraduate students and professional engineers in chemical engineering, food engineering, materials science, pharmaceutical science, agricultural engineering and mining engineering. It will also serve as a reference for practitioners responsible for the bulk handling of particulate materials
Four section provide readers with coverage of core particle topics: particle mechanics & characterization; characterization & mechanics of bulk solids; multiphase particle engineering; and advanced particle engineering

Practical focus is supported by worked examples, case studies and applied topics.

Enables engineers to build their knowledge and skills to understand and work with particulate systems
