  • PNEUMATIC Conveying System: AN OVERVIEW
    2015
    Co-Authors: Balasubrahmanya K
    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 position where in it can replace heavy duty Conveying Systems in many applications. Its drawbacks are considerable path for the future scope on this Conveying mechanism. This paper reviews about pneumatic Conveying from the stage of history to its future study.

  • Chapter 14 – Pipeline scaling parameters
    Pneumatic Conveying Design Guide, 2004
    Co-Authors: David Mills
    Abstract:

    Publisher Summary The design of the pipeline is one of the first tasks to be undertaken in pneumatic Conveying System design. The Conveying distance and material flow rate for the plant are usually specified, and so it is necessary to determine the pipeline bore and the air supply pressure required. The starting point in this process is generally test data. If the Conveying characteristics are available for a material in a known pipeline, they can be scaled for the same material to another pipeline, with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The main requirements of scaling are that dynamic similarity should be maintained and that the scaling should remain within established flow regimens. To illustrate the scaling procedure with respect to Conveying distance, the Conveying characteristics for two materials with very different Conveying capabilities are used. One is ordinary Portland cement, which is capable of being conveyed in dense phase and at low velocity, if the Conveying line pressure gradient is high enough. The other is potassium sulphate, which can only be conveyed in dilute phase suspension flow in a Conventional Conveying System, even if a high air supply pressure is used.
