Glossary of Terms in Powder & Bulk Technology

Foreword

Bulk solids play a vital role in human society, permeating almost all industrial activities and dominating many. Bulk technology embraces many disciplines, yet does not fall within the domain of a specific professional activity such as mechanical or chemical engineering. It has emerged comparatively recently as a coherent subject with tools for quantifying flow related properties and the behaviour of solids in handling and process plant. The lack of recognition of the subject as an established format with monumental industrial implications has impeded education in the subject. Minuscule coverage is offered within most university syllabuses. This situation is reinforced by the acceptance of empirical maturity in some industries and the paucity of quality textbooks available to address its enormous scope and range of application. Industrial performance therefore suffers.

The British Materials Handling Board perceived the need for a Dictionary of Terms in Particle Technology as an introductory tool for non-specialists, newcomers and students in this subject. Co-incidentally, a draft of a Glossary of Terms in Particulate Solids was in compilation. This concept originated as a project of the Working Part for the Mechanics of Particulate Solids, in support of a web site initiative of the European Federation of Chemical Engineers. The Working Party decided to confine the glossary on the EFCE web site to terms relating to bulk storage, flow of loose solids and relevant powder testing. Lyn Bates, the UK industrial representative to the WPMPS leading this Glossary task force, decided to extend this work to cover broader aspects of particle and bulk technology and the BMHB arranged to publish this document as a contribution to the dissemination of information in this important field of industrial activity.

The value of the Glossary is seen as being particularly useful to newcomers to this broad subject. Explanations are provided for key terms in the various sections that merit a deeper appreciation than a strict basic definition. Suggestions are also included for preferred terms that eliminate ambiguity or misinterpretation. A universality of expressions for use in technical documents and publications is also an implicit aim. It is inevitable that within the wide range of terms included will be some that merit a more comprehensive or different description, and undoubtedly there are a formidable number of exclusions that would enhance the list. The publishers are not responsibility for any errors, omissions or statements made in this publication. The information is presented for information only and is not intended for action without independent substantiating investigation on the part of a potential user. The definitions are presented by the author as collated from wide sources and not necessarily endorsed by the British Materials Handling Board or its publishers.

The work is dedicated to C.K.Andrews, who lit the path of professionalism for the author.

Other books by Lyn Bates include:‘User guide to Segregation’, published by BMHB and ‘Guide to the Design, Selection and Application of Screw Feeders’ published by the I.Mech.E.

Appendix III - Andrew W. Jenike

No publication listing terms relating to bulk solids would be complete without reference to Jenike, who publication 1964, Bull.123 of the Utah University Experimental Station, is the most widely quoted references in any publication or Conference relating to Bulk Technology. This document laid the foundation for understanding the flow and behaviour of loose solids and introduced a theory, measuring technique and design formula for modern hopper design.

Before the work no significant strides had been made in this field since Janssen’s one and only paper on silo pressures in 1895. By contrast, Andrew Jenike and his research student Jerry Johanson went on from this pioneering work to develop these and other concepts and introduce practical applications through a host of industries that handle particulate materials. The contribution to industrial efficiency by major and many minor users of bulk materials is immense.

This tribute to his skill and insight is extended to the dedication with which he pursued the ideas. Having selected the subject from a personal analysis that reviewed the outstanding industrial problems of the day he dedicated his career to understanding and providing a solution to solids flow problems. From first hand experience at US steel, he realised that the empirical methods in use for the design of bulk storage hoppers and silos did not address the fundamental nature of the material being handled. His timely attention to the technology, and ability to read Russian for the interpretation of a crucial technical paper, fell into place with the fortunate choice of a talented student, Johanson, to aid the mathematical and practical workshop demands.

From completing the ground breaking thesis, Andrew and Jerry went on to found the consulting organisation, Jenike and Johanson Inc. that continues today. Jerry brought a number of innovative developments to the market and continuous to apply his experience to industrial problems and developments. Their work spawned centres of specialisation in many countries through the world. In Germany it furthered the thorough, but less prominent, work of Hans Rumf and his co-workers. UK formed schools of particle and powder technology under Brian Scarlett and John Williams, whilst bulk handling in Australia was advanced under the methodical analyst Alan Roberts and his co-worker, Peter Arnold. A trail of enthused devotes to the subject has made an international change in industrial performance well out of proportion to their numbers.

The challenges are far from complete. The sheer scale of application may be contemplated by the fact the almost half the products used and consumed by society is, or has been at some time, in particulate form and that there are invariable multiple occasions that these products and stored and handled from source to use. Broad education in the subject, at least in a basic form, is a monumental task to bring awareness of the both the benefits of good design and the hazards, both financial and personal, of operational failure because of apparently simple and inexpensive capital items. The technology itself embraces many disciplines and demands refinement in many areas, such as evaluation and quantification techniques. Greater tests lie ahead. The glowing opportunities beckoning from nano-technology has to be soberly countered with the realisation that these particles not only have to be made, but then handled in a reliable manner. The ingenuity of man is far from exhausted, but will continue to be well tested.
