TRANSPORTATION OF DRY FLYASH: ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION By V.K.Agarwal Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi
Figure 9 Sketch of Particulate Flow in Dilute Phase Conveying
Mode of Conveying Dilute Phase - Suspension Flow: Requirements None Pick-Up Velocity 12 m/s fine powders (minimum) 16 m/s fine granules for horizontal conveying
Mode of Conveying Dilute Phase - Suspension Flow Requirements None Pick-Up Velocity 12 m/s fine powders (minimum) 16 m/s fine granules Dense Phase - Non-Suspension Flow Sliding Bed Flow: Requirements Good Air Retention Pick-Up Velocity 3 m/s (minimum)
Mode of Conveying Dilute Phase - Suspension Flow Requirements None Pick-Up Velocity 12 m/s fine powders (minimum) 16 m/s fine granules Dense Phase - Non-Suspension Flow Sliding Bed Flow: Requirements Good Air Retention Pick-Up Velocity 3 m/s (minimum) Plug Flow: Requirements Good Permeability Pick-Up Velocity 3 m/s
Solids Loading Ratio (dimensionless) - - (3) where ϕ = solids loading ratio = mass flow rate of material - tonne/h and = mass flow rate of air used - kg/s
