| Summary: | To assess the energy intensity of particulate materials mixing, it is necessary to know the state of stress in the particulate material in front of mixing elements. The theoretical background of this process results from the theory of the equilibrium limit of the particulate material, and this state may by described by Mohr’s circle theory and the Novosad model. Based on the above assumptions, it is possible to derive the pressure distribution along the blade height, but only for an infinitely long blade. A measuring system implemented on the homogenizer blade was constructed to examine the effects of the distribution of the mixed material on the mixing element along its length.
