However, a direct measure of the interparticle interactions (IPFs) is challenging, mainly because cohesive particles cannot be fluidized under ordinary conditions. That is the reason why IPFs are typically measured using a rheological approach. The aim of this study is, therefore, to evaluate the IPFs of cohesive powders under actual fluidization conditions, by using an experimental and theoretical approach. In particular, a sound assisted fluidized bed apparatus was used to achieve a fluidization regime of the particles. Then, the cluster/subcluster model was applied to calculate IPFs, starting from the experimental data. The obtained IPFs were then compared to those evaluated by using a shear testing approach. date: 2018-01-01 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.powtec.2017.09.038 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1425976 doi: 10.1016/j.powtec.2017.09.038 lyricists_name: Chirone, Roberto lyricists_name: Lettieri, Paola lyricists_id: RCHIR75 lyricists_id: PLETT94 actors_name: Chirone, Roberto actors_id: RCHIR75 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Powder Technology volume: 323 pagerange: 1-7 issn: 0032-5910 citation: Chirone, R; Raganati, F; Ammendola, P; Barletta, D; Lettieri, P; Poletto, M; (2018) A comparison between interparticle forces estimated with direct powder shear testing and with sound assisted fluidization.
