Estimating energy in grinding using DEM modelling

Introduction. The motion of grinding media and the energy distribution have a profound influence on the comminution of particles in tumbling mills. It allows the calculation of the trajectories of individual entities in the entire grinding charge as they move in the mill and collide with one another. The discrete element method (DEM) also ...

What is the Difference Between Tumbling Mill and Ball Mill?

A: Yes, a ball mill can be used as a tumbling mill, but the reverse is not true. Tumbling mills are specifically designed for size reduction using a combination of forces, while ball mills are designed for grinding using impact and attrition forces. Explore the fundamental differences between these two grinding equipment and how they can impact ...

Modelling the pulp fluid and its interaction with both the charge and the mill structure is an interesting challenge. The interaction is normally modelled with a combination of CFD and DEM, where the DEM particles (grinding balls) create the structure through which the fluid penetrates, and in its turn creates forces on the grinding balls.However, …
