An Image-Based Analysis Method of Transverse Mixing in a Rotating Drum

Article Preview

Abstract:

In many industries, such as chemical industry, food industry and cement industry, rolling drum are widely used for mixing solids. The quality of product is directly determined by the mixing uniformity, thus it is desired to be able to research the mixing rates quantitatively. This paper describes an image-based experimental method to study the mixing process. With three physical quantities, the contact length, the diameters of single material blocks and the average extent of the adjacent areas, the mixing rate and some other mixing feathers could be evaluated. And an experiment was conducted to verify this analysis method.
