Description
Book SynopsisHandling of powders and bulk solids is a critical industrial technology across a broad spectrum of industries. This book provides the reader with an understanding of the techniques, importance and application of particulate materials characterisation.
Trade Review"The book covers the fundamental characteristics of individual particles and bulk particulate materials, including particle size, shape and density, bulk density, fluidisation behaviour, flow properties, and the characterization of powders for explosion potential. Measurement techniques are described, and the use of material characteristics in design and industrial practice is discussed." (
