ML enhanced measurement of the electrostatic charge distribution of powder conveyed through a duct

Christoph Wilms, Wenchao Xu, Gizem Ozler +3

The electrostatic charge acquired by powders during transport through ducts can cause devastating dust explosions. Our recently developed laser-optical measurement technique can re…

Unmasking hidden ignition sources: A new approach to finding extreme charge peaks in powder processing

Holger Grosshans, Wenchao Xu, Simon Jantač +1

Powders acquire a high electrostatic charge during transport and processing. Consequently, in the aftermath of dust explosions, electrostatic discharge is often suspected to be the…

Polarity switch of PMMA powder transported through a PMMA duct

Wenchao Xu, Holger Grosshans

During pneumatic conveying, powder electrifies rapidly due to the high flow velocities. In our experiments, the particles even charge if the conveying duct is made of the same mate…

Spatially resolved measurement of the electrostatic charge of turbulent powder flows

Wenchao Xu, Simon Jantač, Tatsushi Matsuyama +1

This article reports on measurements of the electrostatic charge of particles in a turbulent duct flow. In contrast to previous charge measurements, which do not apply to turbulent…

Experimental study of humidity influence on triboelectric charging of particle-laden duct flows

Wenchao Xu, Holger Grosshans

Electrostatic charge on powders arises during pneumatic transport due to particle-particle and particle-surface interactions via triboelectrification. This is a potential threat to…

Simulation of PMMA powder flow electrification using a new charging model based on single-particle experiments

Holger Grosshans, Wenchao Xu, Tatsushi Matsuyama

Thus far, simulations have failed to predict accurately electrostatic powder charging during pneumatic transport. We advanced the modeling of powder flow charging by a three-part s…
