For the engineer seeking information on the latest trends in powder and bulk-solids equipment, some practical and down-to-earth advice on everyday plant problems, or something as complex as calculating cyclone pressure drops, this is an invaluable source of current information in materials handling. This book is a compilation of 51 recent articles from [BO]Chemical Engineering Magazine[BX], based on the collective experience of several dozen of the leading technical experts in the field, for engineers coping with solids-handling problems. It includes detailed descriptions of all types of materials-handling operations, covers efficient troubleshooting methods and quick calculation techniques, and contains all other data needed to select, size or apply solids-handling equipment. Further, the numerous illustrations, charts and tables should make the data easy to understand and use.
