Principles of Gas-Solid Flows [Paperback]

Discusses fundamental principles of gas-solid flows and their applications, and includes numerous examples and homework problems.Gas-solid flows are encountered in industrial processes and various natural phenomena. This authoritative book addresses the fundamental principles of gas-solid flows and their application to various gas-solid flow systems. The book is arranged in two parts: Part I deals with basic relationships and phenomena, including particle size and properties, collision mechanics, heat, mass, and momentum transfer. Part II discusses selected gas-solid flow systems such as gas-solid separators, hopper and standpipe flows, fluidized beds, and pneumatic conveying systems. Solutions manual available.Gas-solid flows are encountered in industrial processes and various natural phenomena.
