Borshchov V.Ya., Dolgunin V.N., Shubin R.A.The Conveyor Shear Cell for Determination of Particle Tendency to Segregation and Mixing During Shear Flow of Particulate Solids // Scientific article. Journal "Transactions of the TSTU", vol. 12 , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2006. (pdf-file) Abstract: An original experimental unit for investigation of segregation and mixing effects during two-dimensional shear flow of particulate solids for a wide range of shear rates is developed. An analytical approach is suggested in order to calculate the coefficient of quasidiffusional mixing during shear flow of particulate solids.

TSTU publisher house , 2006. (pdf-file) Abstract: A modified fluidized bed, termed the pulsed fluidized bed (PFB), was developed to eliminate some limitations of the conventional fluidized bed by superposing a pulsating air stream on the continuously flowing fluidizing air. Drying of green peas was carried out to assess the advantages of such a pulsed fluid bed over the conventional fluid bed. Due to good dispersion of solids by the pulsing air flow, a higher drying rate is realized in PFB with lesser color degradation. The solids shrinkage and sorption isotherms are also presented.
