Mixing of Bulk Materials: Methods, Design, Mathematical Description
The paper considers frequently used ways of mixing bulk materials. The designs of devices for mixing granular media are reviewed. The main problems of mixing bulk materials in the chemical industry are indicated. The ways of improving the mixing equipment are outlined. The design of the mixer, consisting of a cascade of overflow funnels and mixing tools is proposed. In the mixer, mutual penetration of bulk materialparticles and their homogeneous distribution are intensified. The methods of mathematical description of the process of mixing of bulk materials are considered.
