This work is aimed at confirming the adequacy of the probabilistic and statistical approach to determining the aerodynamic resistance coefficient of particles in a flow of the free falling polyfractional material, suggested by the author. The aerodynamic resistance coefficient of particles in a flow of falling material is defined by calculating the probability of finding particles out of air shadows of the neighboring particles. The laboratory experiment was performed on the offered experimental samples of bulk materials having different particle size distribution, but the identical average diameter of particles. The design of a laboratory experimental installation which allows determining the consumption of air, ejected by a polyfractional material flow, was described. The amount of the air, ejected with experimental samples, depends on their particle size distribution that confirms the insufficiency of describing the properties of bulk material only with the average diameter value. The given comparison of results of the analytical calculations with experimental data shows the reliability and adequacy of the calculated values.
