Floc Deformation and Floc Microproperties

该项目将使用一种专门设计的活塞-气缸装置来测量单个颗粒絮状物的力和变形。将确定所施加的压缩力与絮体孔隙率和结构之间的关系。将评估工艺变量对结构特征的影响。研究结果将为建立基于圆柱体运动边界渗流理论的单轴压缩理论奠定基础。

The project is to measure the force and deformation of individual floc of particles using a specially designed piston-cylinder apparatus. The relations between the applied compressive force and the floc porosity and structure will be determined. The effects of process variables on the structural characteristics will be assessed. The results will be used to develop a theory for the uniaxial compression based on the percolation theory with the moving boundary of the cylinder.
