Abstract
AbstractThis paper reports experimental measurements on the yield stress, the permeability to gas flow and the gas velocity at the jamming transition of gas-fluidized beds of magnetizable particles as affected by particle size and orientation and strength of an externally imposed magnetic field. Tested samples consisted of relatively monodisperse magnetite powders of $35$, $50$ and $65~\unicode[.5,0][STIXGeneral,Times]{x03BC} \mathrm{m} $ particle size. The permeability to gas flow and jamming transition velocity increase with particle size and in a specially marked way when the magnetic field is applied along the gas flow direction. The magnetic contribution to the yield stress is also particularly enhanced for co-flow magnetic fields. However, the effect of particle size on the yield stress shows a dependence on the microstructure packing as affected by particle size and orientation of the field. The magnetic yield stress increases with particle size for magnetic fields applied in the cross-flow configuration while the opposite trend is observed when the direction of the magnetic field is parallel to the gas flow. The observations reported in this paper are generally explained by the formation of chains of particles due to attractive magnetic forces between the magnetized particles and the orientation of these chains with respect to the magnetic field.
