An investigation of liquid coating via the contact spreading mechanism in tumbling drum and fluidised bed coating processes
The spray coating of particles is used in many industrial applications. One of the mechanisms involves the transfer of liquid between particles via liquid bridge formation and rupture; known as contact spreading. To date, there has been limited research into this mechanism. Indeed, the few studies r...
