Electrostatic Charging of Fine Powders and Assessment of Charge Polarity Using an Inductive Charge Sensor by Tong Deng, Vivek Garg, Michael S. A. Bradley

“…One of the major challenges is to evaluate the charge levels and polarity in the powders but this requires a significant number of tests to detect charge tendency and distributions in bulk materials, which is time-consuming. In this paper, electrostatic charging of powders in material handling processes and the associated hazards are briefly reviewed. …”

Comprehensive DEM Calibration Using Face Central Composite Design and Response Surface Methodology for Rice–PLA Interactions in Enhanced Bucket Elevator Performance by Pirapat Arunyanart, Nithitorn Kongkaew, Supattarachai Sudsawat

“…Validation through comparative velocity profile analysis during bucket elevator discharge operations confirmed excellent agreement between simulated and experimental behavior despite a 20% discharge velocity variance that warrants further investigation into agricultural material-specific phenomena. The established parameter set enables accurate virtual prototyping of sustainable agricultural handling equipment, offering post-harvest processing engineers a powerful tool for optimizing bulk material handling systems with reduced environmental impact. …”
