The feeding hopper is frequently used in grinding cement clinker to ensure a stable and
homogeneous feed of particles. However, due to the large variances in size, the clinker …

This work focuses on the 3D full-loop CFD isothermal simulation of a transparent plexi-glass
small-scale CFB carbonator built by IFK for the hydrodynamic investigation of the CFB …

The discrete element method (DEM) is a promising technique that allows the mechanical
behaviour of the material stored in silos and hoppers to be studied. The present work …

Precise evaluation of the dynamics of granular material during hopper discharge,
particularly the velocity field coupled with the stress field, has been an important area of …

Precise evaluation of mass discharge rate (MDR) in hoppers is an important topic in many
industries. Facilitated by an Eulerian-formulation finite element method (FEM), this paper …

It is known that concentric filling and discharge are the most recommended solutions in silo
design. However, different reasons such as costs, space problems and the client's specific …

Rectangular planform silos are often used where there is need for simple construction or
space restrictions. The flexibility of the flat plate walls leads to a horizontal variation in wall …

A three-dimensional finite element analysis was made of the filling of cylindrical silos having
an eccentric hopper, using different boundary conditions—silos supported at the transition or …

Large underground voids created by removal of ore are usually backfilled with mill tailings.
The stress state in the backfill must be estimated to ensure safety. Most of the existing …

This study conducted experiments on dry granular mass released on an inclined flume. The
periodic acceleration and deceleration of the flow, that is, the stick-slip phenomenon, was …
