On vibrational diffusion segregation in granular media

Аннотация

In this paper, the definition and description of vibrational diffusion (gradient) segregation of the bulk materials have been provided. The results of the experimental studies of this kind of segregation are described. This technique can be very useful for creation of entirely new high effective machines for granular separation. The results of theoretical investigation are presented. In this investigation, the diffusion equation, in which random and deterministic parameters are taken into consideration, has been used.
