Particle Technology and Engineering: Fundamentals and Computational Methods, Second Edition provides a comprehensive reference and introduction to the topic, ranging from single particle characterization to bulk powder properties, from particle-particle interaction to particle-fluid interaction, from fundamental mechanics to advanced computational mechanics for particle and powder systems.

The book begins with a theoretical framework, with the first eight chapters focusing on properties of single particles and powder systems, their characterization, particle-fluid interactions, and the mechanics of particle and powder systems. These foundational chapters provide examples and exercises to aid in understanding these concepts. The last three chapters build upon this overview to provide more advanced practical guidance focus on modeling and simulations for particle systems and powder processing, including discrete element methods, finite element methods, and machine learning - case studies and complete algorithm models are included to demonstrate the modeling procedures and capabilities. This book serves as an invaluable comprehensive guide to students at postgraduate and late undergraduate level within chemical engineering, as well as other engineering disciplines involving particle technology and chemical processes.

This book will also be incredibly useful to early-stage researchers working in chemical process engineering and experienced researchers on mathematical and mechanistic analysis of particulate systems, and on advanced computational methods. This book would also be a useful reference for students, industrial researchers and process designers working in other industries, such as pharmacy, mechanical and civil engineering, food processing and fast-moving consumer goods.

• Provides a simple introduction to core topics in particle technology: characterisation of particles and powders: interaction between particles, gases and liquids; and some useful examples of gas-solid and liquid-solid systems
• Introduces the principles and applications of two useful computational approaches: discrete element modelling and finite element modelling
• Enables engineers to build their knowledge and skills and to enhance their mechanistic understanding of particulate systems
