Abstract

A pair of central moving spherical particles connected by a pendular liquid bridge with interstitial Newtonian fluid is often encountered in particulate coalescence process. In this paper, by assuming perfect-wet condition, the effects of liquid volume and separation distance on static liquid bridge are analyzed, and the relation between rupture energy and liquid bridge volume is also studied. These points would be of significance in industrial processes related to adhesive particles.
