Pneumatic Conveying of Solids through Horizontal Straight Pipes

Vibroacoustical Energy Flow through Straight Pipes

At lower relative (i.e., non-dimensional) frequencies, four propagating waves exist in fluid-filled pipes. Each of these waves carries energy in the pipe wall, while three waves carry energy in the fluid as well. The otherwise fairly complex dispersion laws for waves in pipes simplify in the frequency region considered to simple rodand beam-type laws. It is shown that these laws can be determin...

Pneumatic Conveying System: an Overview

3 Design engineer, Scorpio, Industries ltd., (India) ABSTRACT Pneumatic conveying system has always been economic and efficient means of conveying materials. From the historical background it is evident that there has been a considerable development to that extent where in even high density materials can be easily conveyed. With many advantages over conventional conveying system, it stands in a...

Simulations of Dense-phase Pneumatic Conveying

Dense phase pneumatic conveying has been investigated through simulation, using a discrete element approach for the granular particles and a finite difference method for the pressure field. Both horizontal and vertical conveying are studied and compared. Studies of single plugs or slugs promise to give insight into the performance of pneumatic conveying systems.

Particle velocity and concentration characteristics in a horizontal dilute swirling flow pneumatic conveying

An experimental study concerning particle behaviors in a horizontal dilute swirling flow pneumatic conveying was performed. Measurements of particle velocities and concentration profiles have been carried out using the photographic image technique. From the experimental results, it is found that mean particle velocity of swirling flow pneumatic conveying is lower than that of conventional pneum...
