This paper reviews the use of discrete particle models (DPMs) for the study of the flow
phenomena prevailing in fluidized beds. DPMs describe the gas-phase as a continuum …

The study of breakage in granulation is important from a process and from a product quality
perspective. Breakage is considered an important rate process in granulation, and plays …

The influence of the thickness of a covering liquid layer and its viscosity as well as the
impact velocity on energy loss during the normal impact on a flat steel wall of spherical …

The influence of a liquid film on the coefficient of restitution (COR) is investigated
experimentally by tracing freely falling particles bouncing on a wet surface. The dependence …

This study focuses on understanding the effect of material properties on granule quality
attributes through the analysis of mixing dynamics and granulation rate mechanisms …

Gas fluidised beds have many applications in a wide range of industrial sectors and it is
important to be able to predict their performance. This requires, for example, a deeper …

The present work employs the open source package, OpenFOAM, for dynamic simulations
of the intrinsically unsteady and nonhomogeneous gas-particle flows in spout fluidized beds …

Experiments have been performed to assess the effects of particle loading, size, and
temperature on flow blockage development in a geometry representative of a gas turbine …

The global pharmaceutical industry is a trillion‐dollar market. However, the pharmaceutical
sector often lags in manufacturing innovation and automation which limits its potential to …

Aerogels are ultra-light open porous materials with a high specific surface area. Because of
their outstanding properties they can be used in a diverse range of pharmaceutical …
