Abstract
An attempt has been made to describe the axial segregation of solid particles of two dimensions in a horizontal drum mixer. For this purpose the Kolmogorov's forward diffusion equation with variable diffusion coefficient and zero drift velocity was used. For the case of "pure" segregation this approach has given good results.
