Residual Ash

The present work aims to develop a simple model for describing the particle size distribution (PSD) of residual fly ash from pulverized biomass combustion. The residual ash formation was modelled considering the mechanism of fragmentation and coalescence. The influences of particle shape and stochastic fragmentation on model description of the PSD of the fly ash were investigated. The results showed that biomass particle shape has a great influence on the model prediction, and a larger fragmentation number is required for cylindrical particles than that for spherical particles to get the same PSD of fly ash, and the fragment number of the particles increases with the shape factor increasing. For pulverized biomass with a wide size distribution, the model predicted ash PSD considering the stochastic fragmentation is very similar to that assuming uniform fragmentation. It implies that the simple model assuming uniform fragmentation is applicable for predicting fly ash size distribution in practical processes where biomass particles have a wide range of sizes. For the fuel with a narrower initial PSD, the stochastic fragmentation model generally predicts a coarser PSD of the residual ash than assuming uniform fragmentation. It means the stochastic fragmentation is of great influence to be considered for accurate description of ash formation from the fuel with a narrow PSD.

Property Control

For precise property control of sintered products, it is important to know the powder characteristics, especially the packing density of the powder. In a previous work, we developed a packing simulation program that could make a packed bed of spherical particles having particle size distribution. In order to predict the packing density of the actual powder that consisted of nonspherical particles, we combined the packing simulation with a particle shape analysis. We investigated the influence of the particle size distribution of the powder on the packing density by executing the packing simulation based on particle size distributions of the actual milled chromium powders. In addition, the influence of the particle shape of the actual powder on the packing density was quantitatively analyzed. A prediction of the packing density of the milled powder was attempted with an analytical expression between the particle shape of the powder and the packing simulation. The predicted packing densities were in good agreement with the actual data.

Effect Of Particle Size

Particle size distribution and particle size ratio have an important effect on rheological properties of model chocolate samples, but also other factors like particle shape, surface roughness and hydrophilicity should be taken into account.

AbstractThis paper investigates the effect of particle shape on the stress reduction and collapse deformation of gravelly soil using a medium-scale direct shear test apparatus under different relative densities, normal stress, and shear stress levels. A new method based on the Micro-Deval test was introduced to produce sub-angular particles from angular particles. Therefore, two series of soil specimens were obtained with the same rock origin, particle size distribution, and relative density but different particle shapes. In addition to traditional direct shear tests on dry and wet specimens, a specific test procedure was applied to explore the stress reduction and collapse of soil specimens due to wetting. The results of the tests, including shear stress–shear displacement and vertical displacement-shear displacement, were compared. The results showed that the stress reduction and settlement due to wetting increased with vertical and shear stress levels in both types of particle shapes, with higher values in angular particle shapes. The particle breakage of the soil specimens was also studied quantitatively using the change in the particle size distribution before and after the test. It was shown that the wetting of the samples had more impact on the particle breakage in angular gravel than sub-angular gravel, which increased linearly with the normal stress.
