Gas Dynamics of the Process of Separation of Granular Materials Into Fractions by Specific Weight

Abstract

A mathematical model of the process of separation of granular materials by specifi c weight in fl uidized beds has been constructed on the basis of the conservation equations of mass and momentum of the heterogeneous media mechanics. Computational and physical experiments on studying the separation process have been carried out. The regime and design parameters of the apparatus that ensure the needed degree of granular material separation into fractions have been determined.
