The flow, stacking, and mixing of pebbles in the High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor
(HTGR) will affect the power distribution of the core and thus affect the economy and safety …

The effect of non-sphericity of particles on segregation in a vibrated packed bed is studied
using the discrete element method. The DEM results for the base case are validated with …

The effect of particle cohesion, vibration parameters, and wall-particle friction conditions on
the mixing process of binary spherical particles in a vertical vibrating container were studied …

In this paper, the gravity-driven granular flow was investigated by discrete element method
(DEM) in the moving bed heat exchanger with tube oscillation. The particle update, the …

A coupled finite volume and discrete element method (CFD-DEM) numerical model is
developed to unravel the fundamental mechanisms of granular transport, surface erosive …

Geldart groups A (NiO–1300 μm, green), B (MoO 3-480 μm, white), and C (NiO–30 μm, gray
color and MoS 2–25 μm, black) particles were used in a transparent, acrylic fluidized bed …

This article investigates the combined effect and the order of influence of feed rate,
inclination angle, vibration amplitude, frequency, and angle on the efficiency and mesh wear …

The uniform mixing of particles is crucial in many industrial applications. In industries, most
granular materials are nonspherical, with ellipsoids being a common deviation from the …

Vibro-fluidized dry coal beneficiation involves the unavoidable mixing of-1 mm coal dust into
a fluidized bed, which compromises the stability and homogeneity of the bed density and …

The effect of the shape of particles on mixing and segregation is studied in a vibrated
packed bed mixer. Binary mixtures (unequal sized) of four types of nonspherical glass …
