泥浆流变性在泥浆的输送和输送过程中都起着重要的作用。 固体和连续研磨米尔斯中的尺寸减小过程。 然而，尽管它们很重要， 这些流变学的精确性质的定量信息 方面的影响. 该项目的目标是开展一项系统的 泥浆流变性对物料输送影响的研究 和在滚转球磨机米尔斯中减小尺寸。 拟议研究 包括泥浆流变行为的基础研究， 浆料流变性对颗粒影响的定量评价 破碎的米尔斯，和调查的流变方面， 连续米尔斯中的材料输送。 的最终目标 项目是开发一种改进的物理/数学处理， 在连续研磨米尔斯中减小尺寸的过程。

Slurry rheology plays a significant role in both the transport of solids and the size reduction process in continuous grinding mills. Despite their importance, however, there is a surprising lack of quantitative information of the precise nature of these rheological effects. The objective of this project is to carry out a systematic investigation of the effects of slurry rheology on material transport and size reduction in tumbling ball mills. The proposed research includes fundamental studies of the rheological behavior of slurries, quantitative evaluation of the effects of slurry rheology on particle breakage in mills, and investigation of the rheological aspects of material transport in continuous mills. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop an improved physical/mathematical treatment of the process of size reduction in continuous grinding mills.
