The modelling of grinding processes by means of the principle of maximum entropy

TLDR
In this paper, a new method of modelling comminution processes is introduced, which is based on maximizing an informational entropy, and is able to predict the influence of the energy input to the single feed fractions as well as to predict this energy split function.

Applications of Markov Chains in Particulate Process Engineering: A Review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the three traditional issues: mixing and transport, separation, and transformation of particle-based processes, and show that they combine simplicity and flexibility, the stochastic models based on the Markov chain theory are very valuable mathematical tools.

The entropy criterion for the homogenisation process in a multi-ribbon blender

TL;DR: In this paper, a new form of the entropy criterion estimating the current state of a mixture is proposed, a mathematical model to describe the variations of the informational entropy during the process is developed, and experimental validation of the model is done for the blending process duration.

A solution to the batch grinding equation

TL;DR: In this article, a practical approximation to the fundamental integro-differential equation for batch grinding is presented and a solution is developed in terms of two experimentally determined basic parameters of the system, rates of breakage and breakage function, and is in a form suitable for simple extension to describe continuous grinding systems.

A New Conceptual Model for Ball Milling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the population balance approach for describing the operating behavior of a ball mill and applied it to calculate the selection and breakage functions for quartz in a small batch mill.
