Determination of probability of position of particle on working surface of spiral pneumoseparator by methods of mathematical modeling

In mathematical modeling of processes occurring in devices for mineral processing, problems arise for determining a probability of a particle position on working surfaces of devices. In this paper, we use an idea of the Gibbs method to solve a similar problem. A mathematical model of a spiral surface of a pneumoseparator, a model for a particle motion and a flux of noninteracting particles along the separator working surface, and an algorithm for determining a concentration of a particle flux are developed. A calculated distribution of the concentration of noninteracting particles on the working surface of the device is identified with a probability distribution of the position of one particle.
