Experiment Study and Optimization of Merging Granular Flow

Abstract:

Granular flow is an important process in industry, agriculture and mining. This paper studies the flow pattern and optimization of two channels of granular chute flow merging into one channel. Experiment shows that the flow pattern in each channel can be dilute flow, shock or dense flow. Base on the discovery, one can optimize the flow rate in this system.
