The contents of this article are based on the results of discussions the corresponding author has had since 2015 with the co-authors, who are members of academia and industry in Europe, on the scope and significance of chernical and biochernical engineering as a dis cipline. The result is a multi-layered view of chemical and biochemical engineering where the inner-layer deals with the fundamental principles and their application; the middle layer deals with consolidation and expansion of the principles through a combination of
Solidification and caking of bulk solids often occurs during storage or while being transported to the customer. To investigate the formation and growth of solid bridges between two discrete particles, the modification of the contact region between these two particles stored in a climatic chamber is examined. The effect of load, temperature, relative humidity, and storage time on the formation of a bridge is analyzed. The objective is to describe the behavior of crystalline or salt-like granules under real storage conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
