Particle technology

CHE4162

Synopsis

This unit provides a thorough introduction to particle technology. The unit begins with understanding particle characterisation, the fluid mechanics of single and multi-particle systems and particulate fluidisation. The physics underlying powder flow will be covered to enable introductory hopper design. Common powder processing operations will be studied, selected from powder mixing/segregation, sedimentation, dewatering and size enlargement.
