This project aims to develop a particle-scale microprobe to capture the transient dynamics of particle behaviours for pneumatic conveying. Slug flow pneumatic transport of granular materials such as mineral particles and food grains is extremely popular across the processing industry. However, without the fundamental understanding of the conveying mechanism at the particulate level, pneumatic conveyors are over-designed and energy intensive. The project aims to enable accurate measurement of the motion, inertia and force information at the particle scale, so as to produce more accurate design protocols for such a conveying system. Improved pneumatic conveyors may have the potential to reduce the energy consumption in such systems by up to a factor of 10.

该项目旨在开发一种颗粒尺度的微探头，以捕捉气力输送中颗粒行为的瞬时动力学。段塞流气力输送颗粒材料，如矿物颗粒和食品谷物，在整个加工行业中非常受欢迎。然而，由于缺乏对颗粒水平输送机理的基本了解，气力输送机设计过度且耗能大。该项目旨在能够准确测量颗粒尺度上的运动、惯性和力信息，从而为这样的输送系统制定更准确的设计方案。改进后的气力输送机有可能将这类系统的能耗降低多达10倍。
