Flow property measurement of food powders and sensitivity of Jenike’s hopper design methodology to the measured values
TLDR
In this paper, the authors measured the flow properties and powder physical properties of 13 food powders, including particle size, moisture, bulk and particle densities, to determine the minimum hopper angle and opening size for mass flow.About:

Effect of powder properties and storage conditions on the flowability of milk powders with different fat contents
TL;DR: In this paper, shear cell techniques were applied to measure and compare the flow properties of a commercial skim-milk powder (SMP), a whole milk powder (WMP) and a 73% high fat milk powder(HFP), and to investigate how storage temperature and exposure to moisture in air affected the flowability of these powders.

Flowability of moist pharmaceutical powders
Erica Emery,Erica Emery,Jasmine Oliver,Jasmine Oliver,Todd Pugsley,Todd Pugsley,Jitendra Sharma,Jitendra Sharma,Joe Zhou,Joe Zhou +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of moisture content on four pharmaceutical powders (an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), Aspartame, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), and Respitose ML001) has been investigated.

Flowability and handling characteristics of bulk solids and powders – a review with implications for DDGS
TL;DR: In this article, the primary factors affecting flowability, handling, and storage of granular solids and powders, as well as appropriate testing methodologies for these materials, are reviewed.

Effect of composition and storage conditions on the flowability of dairy powders
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of composition (moisture, fat, lactose and protein content) and storage conditions (temperature, time and moisture sorption from air) on the flowability of dairy powders was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass feeding for thermochemical reactors
TL;DR: The most common feeding problems are bridging, rathole formation, blockage, seal failure and reactions in the feed line as discussed by the authors, which prevent continuous operation of the entire system.

Characterisation of food powder flowability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a characterisation of the flow properties of four food powders (flour, skim-milk, tea and whey-permeate) using an annular shear cell.

The importance of storage, transfer, and collection
TL;DR: A study by Merrow showed that two of the most common types of problems encountered in solids processing plants were difficulty in transporting solids and in handling fines as discussed by the authors, which is an area primarily ignored by mainstream chemical engineers, a small group of researchers is starting to make inroads in understanding how to design solids transport systems.
