Cross-over point of segregation in binary mixture of different size particles Free

Segregation is known as an important process in many fields of industries for granular materials. One of the methods used for segregation is fluidization. In this study, segregation in binary mixture of different sized particles using fluidizations simulation is observed. The simulation is performed by obtaining the segregation percentage of every diameter ratio of different size particles with equal densities. Then the densities also variated with the same value of diameter ratio. The results are every diameter ratio acquire different percentage of segregation and not showing any linear connection. In a variation of density, there is one point of a nearly specific diameter ratio that is not much affected by the variation. This point is also a cross-over point because the behaviors of segregated particles are different form this point.
