    To develop a continuous granulation process for the transformation of fine powder into the smaller and more spherical granules, the operations of granulation, grinding and separation are performed simultaneously in a continuous rotating conical vessel.
    The experiments are carried out by using CaCO3-powder and water. The effect of the operating conditions on the shape of granules is investigated on the basis of a continuous granulation process model of the simultaneous operation. It can be considered, in the present model, that the shape characteristics of the final product are given by two kinds of granules differing in shape. One is more spherical granules which are made to round with the number of total cascading flow passing through the conical vessel, and the other is non-spherical ground granules the amounts of which increase with the feed ratio of the binder to the powder.
    As a result, it is possible to continuously make a fine powder into smaller and more spherical granules by the above simultaneous operation under appropriate conditions of a smaller feed ratio and the larger number of the cascading flow through the conical vessel.

    This paper outlines an approach to reducing the pulsating wall pressure near the transition point in a bin which is generated during the discharge of a dense bed achieved by peripheral feeding. The authors present a method for controlling the flow of the dense bed by means of installing a device that widens the cylindrical section near the bin transition point, thus changing the flow from a dense bed to a loose bed state. The stress states in the hopper section before and during discharge are explained by Mohr circles.
    In particular, this method can reduce the pulsating wall pressure in the hopper that maintains the dense bed in the cylindrical section of the bin.

    The distribution of the void fraction in the powder layer is one of the most fundamental properties in the estimation of pressure loss through the powder layer formed by filter dust collection. In this report, the void fraction of the fly ash powder layer collected on a filter paper is discussed. It was confirmed that the powder layer formed by air flow loaded dust has a distribution of the void fraction in the direction of air flow. The void fraction was 0.8 at the surface and was 0.6 at the bottom of the powder layer. The relationship between the average void fraction and the thickness of the powder layer could satisfactorily be estimated by using Kawakita's or our experimental correlations as the compression equation, and Carman's equation as the permeation equation. The effect of Knudsen flow on the permeation increased as the void fraction decreased.
