Principles of Gas-Solid Flows

Gas-solid flows are involved in numerous industrial processes and occur in various natural phenomena. This authoritative book addresses the fundamental principles that govern gas-solid flows and the application of these principles 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 momentum transfer heat and mass transfer basic equations and intrinsic phenomena in gas-solid flows. Part II discusses gas-solid flow systems of industrial interest such as gas-solid separators hoppers and standpipes dense-phase fluidized beds fluidized beds pneumatic conveying systems and heat and mass transfer in fluidization systems. As a comprehensive text on gas-solid flows which includes end-of-chapter problems this book is aimed at students but will also be useful to a broad range of engineers and applied scientists. Solutions manual available.
