Abstract
Mixing of granular materials is an important operation in many industries such as the pharmaceutical industry. Generally, a granular material to be mixed can have particles of different densities and sizes, which makes the mixing difficult. Several studies have addressed the issue of finding the optimum combinations of the size and density ratios of binary particles for mixing to happen, using rotating drums as the mixers. For mixtures of particles uniform in either the size or density, we have shown previously that mixing index of the mixtures can be represented by a unique function of the variable, ??3 where ? (
