The article analyzes virtual experiments of the lining of a ball-type drum mill depending on a number of factors: the diameter of a mill, the diameter of grinding bodies, the number and height of liner lifters. The numerical experiment was performed using the EDEM software; a parametric model of the mill housing with variable liner lifters was created and imported, studies were performed using the virtual simulation method. A virtual experiment made it possible to study the grinding process without interacting the equipment which eliminates the risk of injury during and allows for more accurate research data. As a result of simulation of virtual experiments, values of the average kinetic energy of grinding bodies and the number of their collisions were determined.
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.
