CFD-DEM simulations show triboelectrically charged particles can reverse direction in low-drag duct corner zones during pneumatic conveying, with the delay between feed pulses driving the effect more than pulse length.
Rotary airlocks function as pressure boundaries as much as metering devices. The rotor tip clearance governs particle attrition at the nip zone and the rate of fine-particle bypass under differential pressure. As clearance widens through wear, the downstream particle size distribution shifts in a pattern frequently misread as upstream process variation.
