TLDR
In this paper, a general strategy of building the Markov chain models and computational analysis of characteristics of a process is described, and some examples of application of the approach to model grinding, classification, grinding with internal classification, mixing, agglomeration, etc, are shown.

Discrete simulation of granular and particle-fluid flows: from fundamental study to engineering application

TL;DR: This review discusses the enabling methods and technologies for multiscale discrete simulations (MSDS), and concludes that with these developments, MSDS could soon become, among others, a mainstream simulation approach in chemical engineering which enables VPE.

Improved cement quality and grinding efficiency by means of closed mill circuit modeling

TL;DR: In this article, a Markov chain model for the circuit consisting of a tube ball mill and a high efficiency separator was introduced through the metrics of grinding and classification, whereas the classification matrix was defined from the Tromp curve of the separator.

Modeling of the mixing of monodisperse particles using a stationary DEM-based Markov process

TL;DR: A generalized approach for the construction of a multidimensional state space first-order Markov chain that represents the mixing of monodisperse particles is introduced and it is shown that, if accurate measurements of the state of the system are available, the associated Markov operator leads to a good estimate of the particle dynamics in the system.

Mathematical modeling of fluid energy milling based on a stochastic approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the stochastic method to simulate the grinding process in a fluid energy mill, where the product particle size distribution is regarded as the result of repeating elementary breakage events.

Theory of mixtures and mixing

TL;DR: The fundamentals of chemical engineering are closely allied with classical physics The chemical engineer, preoccupied with the working of practical plant, is often neglectful of the principles of his subject This is the first of a series of articles intended to stimulate fundamental thought.

The mixing of solid particles in a motionless mixer—a stochastic approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a Markov chain model was used to model the axial mixing of solid particles in a motionless mixer having no moving parts, and the model was able to predict spatial distribution of tracer particles up to seven steps of the chain, which was equivalent to seven consecutive passes of the mixture through the mixer.
