Some of the most original and productive research specialists in the field of particle-fluid flow systems are assembled in this book, which is an important and current reference volume. It focuses on methods of measurement and options for those performing research and evaluation of particle-fluid flow systems such as pneumatic conveying. The systems and techniques covered in the text cover a wide range of particle sizes and concentrations, from tracers to packed beds.

As seen in this book, the increased use of computers, high sampling frequency and the non-invasive measurements make possible measurements of both average properties and their fluctuations. The trend toward non-invasive measurements based on acoustics, laser, nuclear, and electromagnetic devices is focused upon throughout the text.

Key Features:

- Covers the latest trends in measurement techniques.

- Serves as reference, guide, and text for academic courses.

- Authors include the most productive and original researchers in the field.
