Particle Size Determination by Impact Measurement in Pneumatically Conveyed Solids

A technique is described for measuring particle size in pneumatically conveyed powders. Particle size is inferred from measurement of the peak compression of a specially designed ultrasonic transducer subject to impact of the particles. The technique is well adapted to measure the coarser fractions of the particle size distribution, which have the largest compressions. Monitoring coarse fractions of powder distributions is essential for control of dry grinding processes such as those used in the cement and coal industries. In the laboratory the impact size monitor (ISM) has demonstrated the ability to discriminate between powders with a difference in peak particle size of 2% at an approximate peak size of 150 microns. The ISM operated successfully in the laboratory at a loading of 0.5 kg/m³ of powder and measured particles down to 50 microns in size. As well as size information the ISM can provide powder distribution across a pneumatic transport pipe.     

Non-Invasive Size-Control of Pneumatically Conveyed Particles

Investigations on the size control of pneumatically conveyed coarse particles were carried out using a microphone which detects the structure-borne sound caused by the impact of the particles on the pipe wall. Modes of eigenvibrations of the pipes are excited up to a maximum frequency, which decreases with increasing particle size. In an assembly of different sized particles, the lower frequencies are more stimulated as the fraction of larger particles increases. Changes in the particle size distribution are detected by analysing the intensities of the vibration modes which are set up in the walls of the tube by particle impact. One application is the monitoring of the upper range of a particle size distribution.     

Particle Size of Pneumatically Conveyed Powders Measured Using Impact Duration

CSIRO Minerals has developed a technique for measuring particle size in pneumatically conveyed powders [1] by measurement of the acoustic waves produced by particle impacts upon a specially designed transducer. Previous work has focused on using the peak acoustic wave amplitude to determine particle size. This produces a spectrum that is hard to determine the particle size from, as the peak amplitude is a non‐linear function of particle diameter, and is strongly affected by angle of incidence and velocity of the impacting particle. In this paper impact duration measurements are used to overcome these difficulties while retaining the advantages of being able to measure in high solids loadings of up to at least 0.5 kg/m³ of powder. In laboratory tests the impact size monitor's (ISM) results have been correlated with optical diffraction measurements of the mean (by number) powder size with a correlation coefficient of 0.985 and a relative error of 5.5 %. The ISM operated successfully in the laboratory at a loading of 0.5 kg/m³ of powder and measured particles down to 50 microns in size.     

Flow Pattern Tracing for Mass Flow Rate Measurement in Pneumatic Conveying Using Twin Plane Electrical Capacitance Tomography

This paper presents an original concept for automatic determination of the time intervals for calculation of the mass flow rate of intermittent flow using a twin‐plane electrical capacitance tomography system. The concept allows a solids mass flow rate to be calculated more accurately. It is based on images of instantaneous distributions of the material inside the measured volume by means of Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT), and extraction of the appropriate flow patterns, which are further used for calculation of the mass flow rate. The preliminary results of the mass flow rate measurement using the proposed concept for gas‐solid flow during pneumatic conveying are presented.

Mass Under the Ricci Flow

In this paper, we study the change of the ADM mass of an ALE space along the Ricci flow. Thus we first show that the ALE property is preserved under the Ricci flow. Then, we show that the mass is invariant under the flow in dimension three (similar results hold in higher dimension with more assumptions). A consequence of this result is the following. Let (M, g) be an ALE manifold of dimension n = 3. If m(g) ≠ 0, then the Ricci flow starting at g can not have Euclidean space as its (uniform) limit. Partially supported by NSF and NSFC.

Nuclear mass data play an important role in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics. Thanks to the developments of novel mass spectrometers and radioactive nuclear beam facilities, the experimental knowledge of nuclear masses has been continuously expanding along two main directions, including:measurements aimed at high-precision mass values and at the most exotic nuclei far from the stability. The latest progress are reviewed in the paper. In the past few years, mass measurements of short-lived nuclides were performed using isochronous mass spectrometry based on the Cooler Storage Ring at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL-CSR). The progresses on the frontiers of short half-life and high precision are introduced. The Atomic Mass Evaluation (AME) is the most reliable source for the comprehensive information related to the atomic (nuclear) masses. The latest version of the AME, i.e., AME2016, was published in March, 2017, serving the research community with the benchmark data.
