![]() | Aims: To give students an introduction to the behavioiur of particulate and solid handling systems that relate to the production of industrial products and services. Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit students should be able to: * translate the flow of particulates and solids to modern process industries; * calculate drag forces using standard correlations and determine particle trajectories; * calculate terminal and equilibrium velocities for single particles and design and evaluate classifiers, elutriators and centrifuges; * calculate sedimentation velocities for suspensions; * calculate pressure drop in packed beds and describe the basic fluidisation phenomena; * describe techniques for the storage and conveyance of particles and associated hazards; * calculate filter performance for constant pressure and rate operation; * describe the behaviour of fine particles and the electrical and surface effects that cause this behaviour Skills: Analysis [T,F,A] Problem solving [T,F,A] Design [T,F,A]. Content: * Formation and characterisation of dispersed phases; * Crushing and grinding; * Fluid mechanics applied to deformable and non-deformable dispersed phases; * Settler thickener design: precipitation and coalescence; * Centrifugation: disk; decanter; solid bowl types; * Packed and fluidised beds; * Filtration; * Pneumatic and hydraulic conveying and other methods of transport for solids and slurries; * Colloids and emulsions; * Agglomeration and flocculation. |
