Building population balance model for fluidized bed melt granulation: lessons from kinetic theory of granular flow

摘要: The purpose of this paper is to develop a theoretically sound basis for the equi-partition kinetic energy (EKE) kernel recently developed by our group describe evolution granule size distributions in fluidized bed granulation. approach taken show first distinct element modelling that statistics fluctuating velocity and thus frequency collisions are well described theory granular flow (KTGF)?that is, Maxwellian nature. It then possible use KTGF dependence aggregation process should indeed be given EKE rate constant depends only on temperature, particle density, radial distribution function efficiency collisions. It shown how can used when low-density sodium carbonate particles (Light Ash) sprayed with polyethylene glycol.
