TL;DR: In this article, a non-destructive NIR spectroscopic method was used to acquire on-line spectra of a continuous mixing process, and evaluate the performance of this novel system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used experimental residence time distribution (RTD) measurements to determine the contributions of feeding variability, powder segregation and RTD variability on output composition variance and developed a predictive model of the output variance of a continuous mixer.

TL;DR: In this article, the mixing performance and flow behavior in a continuous powder mixer for a typical pharmaceutical mixture was investigated, and the relationship between different experimental parameters and mean residence time and mean centered variance was examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of process parameters and material properties on the bulk powder flow behavior was analyzed by performing a PLS analysis of the output parameters, including mean residence time, and axial dispersion coefficient as a function of input parameters (impeller speed, flow rate, bulk density and cohesion).

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of impeller rotation rate, powder flow rate, and powder cohesion on the particle trajectory, dispersive axial transport coefficient, and residence time was examined, and the results showed a complex dependence on the axial dispersion coefficient.
