Abstract
Particle concentration and particle size distribution curves have been measured for particle-laden jets of silica gel powder for different loading ratios and air velocities using a Laser Diffraction Method (LDM) and a tomography data transform technique. It was found that the mean particle size at the outer edge of the jet decreases with increasing gas velocity, and that the jet widens with decreasing particle concentration and increasing gas velocity.
