Particle conveying under microgravity in a vibrating vessel

Publication date: Available online 5 October 2019Source: Advanced Powder TechnologyAuthor(s): C.X. Li, K.J. Dong, Y.S. Shen, Aibing YuAbstractThis paper presents a numerical study on the conveying of particles in a vibrating vessel under microgravity. Such a vessel is composed of parallel plates with sawtooth wavy surfaces, which are specifically designed to convey particles using simple vibration. The numerical model was validated by good agreement between the simulated and experimental results....

Control of particle charge by atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ): A review

Publication date: Available online 5 October 2019Source: Advanced Powder TechnologyAuthor(s): Shuji MatsusakaAbstractAtmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) have more advantages regarding flexibility of operation than low pressure plasmas. Because the ions and/or electrons in the APPJ can be arbitrarily extracted to a gas-phase space by changing the DC bias voltage and efficiently deposited onto particle surfaces in an external electric field, this operating technique can be applied towards controlling...
