✦ Synopsis

Studies of the segregation behavior of particulate systems indicate the simultaneous occurrence of both segregation and mixing. The specific rate constants for these processes are calculated from statistical data and are shown to be a function of the particulate velocities. The results suggest the analogy of mechanical agitation in these idealized systems to thermal motion in molecular systems. Arrhenius-type plots of first-order rate constants versus the square of the reciprocal particulate velocities make possible the prediction of segregation behavior at various agitation intensities.
