Particle curtain generator for optical property measurements of solid particles
Abstract
A device to form a particle curtain that is one inch in width and one particle in thickness has been designed, fabricated and tested. This particle curtain generator will form curtains using free flowing spherical or poor flowing angular particles. Particle sizes varying from 100 to 1000 microns were tested at various flow rates. This device is being used at Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratory to aid in making optical property measurements on candidate materials for the solid particle receiver work being done by Sandia.
