By regarding the powder particles warpped with water film as compounded particles, the packing density of powder particles in actual paste system is transformed into the packing density of compounded partcles in imaginary dry-particle system. Based on Stovall Model, a calculation method for packing density of powder with continuous particle size distribution in paste is developed, and the parameters in the method are dentified by experiment. This calculation method could be used to simulate the packing density of cementitious materials such as cement, fine slag, and fly ashes.

For precise property control of sintered products, it is important to know the powder characteristics, especially the packing density of the powder. In a previous work, we developed a packing simulation program that could make a packed bed of spherical particles having particle size distribution. In order to predict the packing density of the actual powder that consisted of nonspherical particles, we combined the packing simulation with a particle shape analysis. We investigated the influence of the particle size distribution of the powder on the packing density by executing the packing simulation based on particle size distributions of the actual milled chromium powders. In addition, the influence of the particle shape of the actual powder on the packing density was quantitatively analyzed. A prediction of the packing density of the milled powder was attempted with an analytical expression between the particle shape of the powder and the packing simulation. The predicted packing densities were in good agreement with the actual data.

To design a mix for high-strength concrete is not easy, one of the methods is to improve the packing density of the cementitious materials. To study the effect of packing density on strength, a comprehensive research program using superfine pulverized fuel ash and silica fume was carried out. Results showed that a high superfine pulverized fuel ash and silica fume ratios could result in a lower optimum W/CM ratio for maximum strength. Depth analysis illustrated that the optimum water film thickness for maximum strength is always at around 0.01 to 0.05 μm, regardless of the SPFA and SF ratios.

Particulate flow is commonly encountered in industries as well as in many other chemical and mechanical engineering applications. The accurate measurement of particle size distribution is of the utmost importance since it decides the physical and chemical characteristic of the particles. The light extinction method can be used for in-line monitoring of particle systems thus providing real time measurements of both particle size distribution and particle concentration. In light extinction particle sizing, a classification inversion algorithm is proposed for the circular cylinder particles. The measured circular cylinder particle system is inversed with different particle distribution functions and classified according to the inversion errors in the dependent model. The simulation experiments illustrate that it is feasible to use the inversion errors of object functions to inverse the circular cylinder particle size distribution in the light extinction particle sizing technique. This classing inversion algorithm can avoid the defects that the type of the size distribution must be assumed beforehand for the light extinction method.

Polydisperse suspensions with particles of a finite number N of size classes have been widely studied in laboratory experiments. However, in most real-world applications the particle sizes are distributed continuously. In this paper, a well-studied one-dimensional kinematic model for batch sedimentation of polydisperse suspensions of small equal-density spheres is extended to suspensions with a continuous particle size distribution. For this purpose, the phase density function Φ = Φ(t, x, ξ), where ξ ∈ [0, 1] is the normalized squared size of the particles, is introduced, whose integral with respect to ξ on an interval [ξ1, ξ2] is equivalent to the volume fraction at (t, x) occupied by particles of that size range. Combining the Masliyah–Lockett–Bassoon (MLB) model for the solid-fluid relative velocity for each solids species with the concept of phase density function yields a scalar, first-order equation for Φ, namely the equation of the generalized kinetic theory. Three numerical schemes for the solution of this equation are introduced, and a numerical example and an L1 error study show that one of these schemes introduces less numerical diffusion and less spurious oscillations near discontinuities than the others. Several numerical examples illustrate the simulated behavior of this kind of suspensions. Numerical results also illustrate the solution of an eigenvalue problem associated with the equation of the generalized kinetic theory.

On the basis of the principle for the highest filling degree of cement hydrates, it is synthetically considered that a matching connection between hydration of cement, volume increment of solid phase and packing density of cement paste, a calculation method for a connection between cement continuous particle size distribution and strength of hardened cement paste is developed and tested by experiment. Based on above-mentioned analysis, a tentative research on the effect of particle size distribution of cement on strength is carried out.
