SALTATION VELOCITY FOR HORIZONTAL PNEUMATIC CONVEYING

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...

On the Prediction of Pickup and Saltation Velocities in Pneumatic Conveying

This paper presents a comparative study of the critical pickup and saltation velocities of particles in horizontal pipelines for pneumatic conveying design. A comparative study is performed using different existing correlations in the literature for the determination of the minimum velocity of transport as a function of the particle and pipe diameter, particle density, solid mass flow rate and ...
