The active depth, mixing degree, and axial particle dispersion increase with the rotating speed. Chip-like particles tend to orient their long axes parallel to the drum wall and drum axis. The fundamental study sheds light on the design and optimization of rotary drums for mixing and leaching ...
The influences of particle shape, standard deviation of the mixture, and rotating speed on the segregation behaviors are discussed by the gyration degree and mixing index. The results reveal that small and large particles are respectively distributed in the center and periphery of the drum, while ...
