Horizontal Slurry Transport on a Large Laboratory Scale

The first head loss prediction methods for hydraulic transport of solids in pipes, date back to the years '50 of last century. The principles are still applied today. Although it is observed that obtained results may differ from reality, when the circumstances do not represent the situation of the original experiment. To investigate this, the...

Hydraulic transport in inclined large diameter pipelines

Little is documented in literature regarding hydraulic processes in inclined and large diameter pipelines. The bulk of the previous research dates back 20 to 50 years and was done for small diameter pipelines of up to 150 mm.<br/><br/>This research focuses on gathering data and testing the existing models and ideas with regard to large diameter...
