Calculation of the Granulometric Composition of Prilled Products from the Most Probable Size of Granules

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The technique of calculating industrial centrifugal, static, vibrostatic, and spray granulators has been supplemented with the missing element — the calculation of the granulometric composition of a product from the most probable size of granules. Using the Kolmogorov–Avrami equation describing the degree of random conversion of granules in the space of their dimensions, constants for calculating various types of granulators have been obtained.
