In vertical pneumatic conveying, the task of the design engineer Is, for a given rate of conveying a particular solid, to specify pipe size, air flow rate, pressure drop, and flow pattern In the riser. In this paper a quantitative procedure for tackling this design problem Is outlined. The procedure Is an updated version of an earlier procedure presented by Leung et al. (1971a) and is based on recent advances on prediction of flow regime and pressure drop in vertical pneumatic conveying.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
