Abstract
A mathematical model for the motion of a granular material in a smooth rotating drum is proposed. The influence of the drum angle of inclina tion, its radius, rate of rotation, and the material volume flow rate on the linear velocity of the material and on the percentage of the dr um volume filled with the material (fillage) is discussed. The calcula ted results agree well with experimental data.
