Dr. John Carson has published a new biography detailing the extraordinary life and technical breakthroughs of Dr. Andrew Jenike, the founding engineer behind the modern science of bulk solids storage and flow. Jenike & Johanson is pleased to announce that Dr. John Carson, President Emeritus of Jenike & Johanson, has published a new book titled Andrew Jenike: Founding Father of the Science of Bulk Solids Storage and Flow. The book explores the life and contributions of Dr. Andrew Jenike, widely recognized as the founding figure in the science of bulk solids storage and flow. The Breakthrough in Bulk Solids Design On April 16, 1953, Dr. Jenike made a pivotal decision to dedicate his work to solving one of industry’s most persistent challenges: understanding and predicting the flow behavior of bulk solids. His research established the fundamental principles that continue to guide the design of hoppers, silos, feeders, and material handling systems across industries. From Wartime Poland to Engineering History Dr. Jenike’s work introduced key concepts such as mass flow and funnel flow, flow/no-flow criteria, and methods for calculating wall angles and outlet dimensions—approaches…
