Segregation of granular particles affects the quality of end products in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food processing industries. Many researchers have worked on controlling the mechanical properties of granular particles to minimize segregation. In this paper, we studied different chute-related factors — inclination angle, friction, fill, channel geometry and base profile — and their effects on segregation. We conducted a small-scale experiment with chute inclined at different angles, and also numerical simulations performed using an open-source discrete element method (DEM) code — LIGGGHTS. We found the optimal condition for minimum segregation of a binary granular mixture. We concluded that segregation is minimized if the stream-wise velocity is low, for example, by keeping the chute at a low inclination [Formula: see text] and increasing the wall roughness to 0.14.

A model of the relative compression ratio for single-particle crushed products, based on the distinct element method (DEM) and numerical analysis, was established to describe precisely the crushed products of granular particles during laminated crushing. The relative compression ratio model was used to describe the functional relationship between the total compression ratio and the single-particle compression ratio, which can be described by lognormal distribution. The single-particle crushed products model was used to describe the functional relationship between the single-particle compression ratio and the distribution of single-particle crushed products. The distribution of single-particle crushed products was described by a three-parameter beta distribution. On the basis of the above model, the function of laminated crushed products of granular particles was established. According to the simulation results of EDEM under confining pressure, a functional relationship between total compression ratio, particle size, and height of the granular particles for laminated crushed products of granular particles was built. It was proved that the function of the theoretical particle size distribution coefficient of laminated crushed products of granular particles was not too different from the actual value determined by simulation. The function is universal and can be used to provide a theoretical basis and a design reference for the design of cone crushers, high-pressure roller mills, and other crushing equipment.

As granular particles in a packing are athermal, their self-assembly has to be realized with the input of energy via walls. But different manners of energy input, e.g., through tapping or shearing walls, have not been discriminated previously.
