This thesis studies wet granulation on three
different levels. First, micro-level investigations
of liquid bridges between two and three particles are
performed. For the two-particle case, the fluid
profile of static (stationary) and dynamic (moving)
liquid bridges are investigated. Static liquid
bridges between three equally sized primary particles
are then studied; the symmetry of the problem is used
to obtain a numerical solution to the Young-Laplace
equation. Secondly, a model to estimate the
stickiness (fractional wet surface area) of
agglomerates is proposed. The model...
