Modeling of Continuous Self-Classifying Spiral Jet Mills Part 2: Powder-Dependent Parameters from Characterization Experiments
The milling model described in Part 1 has been expanded to a three-level model with the addition of powder-dependent parameter function models with simple material characterization measurements as inputs. This allows the determination of these parameters with minimal consumption of powder. Specifically, the powder-dependent parameters are related to material hardness from microindentation or to a breakage measure from single-impact milling. Three crystalline powders, sodium bicarbonate, lactose monohydrate, and sucrose, have been used to test the described material characterization techniques and expanded milling model.
