GRSC 780 - Particle Technology for Solids Handling and Processing

Credits: (3)
This course is designed to provide students an overview of particle technology with an emphasis on practical applications in milling and grain based operations. Conveying, storage, size reduction and separation are the important unit operations of grain processing (food, feed, chemical, pharmaceutical) industries that involve particle sizes ranging from a fraction of a micron to a few millimeters. The particle characteristics as they relate to processing operations such as milling, sieving, mixing, pelleting, etc. will be covered in the course. Subjects include size and shape characterizations, size distribution and measurement, characteristic dimensions, density, and their theories governing the behavior of the particles under different conditions.

Note
Three hours lecture a week.
