In order to investigate the effect of particle-permeation on the segregation of solid mixture in a rotating vessel, radial and axial segregations of spherical binary solid mixture were observed by using a horizontal rotating cylinder and a horizontal rotating conical vessel. The binary mixture used was made by combining glass beads, spherical alumina particles and spherical silica-gel particles having various sizes and densities. As a result, it was obtained that radial and axial segregations of binary solid mixture in a rotating vessel were closely related to the permeation effect (xT/xB) measured in a moving bed7). On the basis of the permeation effect (xT/xB), it was tried to estimate the segregation pattern, degree and direction of the mixture cascading in a vessel rotated at lower speed of rotation.
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.
