The pressure gradient for heterogeneous flow of coal, sand and iron in pipelines

The existing relationships based on Durand's method to predict pressure gradients for slurry flow in pipelines appear to be inadequate when accounting for a wide range of variables such as particle size and relative density as well as concentration. Using the coal, sand and iron ore data collected from various literature sources with the aid of...

Method of Molerus and Wellman to Compute the Pressure Drop of Slurry Transport in Horizontal Pipes

In the literaturey many methods for the calculation of pipeline hydraulic transport of solids have been published. Their degree of exactness and applicability is variabie and therefore it is hard to the designer to make a convincible decision regarding their practical use. A new concept for the computation of slurry hydraulic transport in...
