Chapter 6: Applications and Case Studies

In this chapter, a multi-dimensional approach for understanding powder flow behaviour is presented in the form of two case studies. These include investigating powder bulk properties for a wide range of material physical properties and environmental/storage conditions, and their correlation with powder behaviour during discharge, die-filling and tableting processes. The link between powder properties, bulk flow measurement and behaviour in real application will enhance the understanding of root causes of the powder transfer problems in the manufacturing processes.
