Optimization of Transport Characteristics of Ice Slurry Flows in Horizontal Pipe

摘要

In this paper, the pressure drop behavior of ice slurry based on MPG-water in a circular horizontaltube is experimentally investigated. The secondary fluid was prepared by mixing MPG and water toobtain initial MPG concentration varying from 5 % to 24%.The pressure drop tests were conductedto cover laminar flow with ice mass fraction varying from 5% to 25% depending on test conditions.The experimental results, for transport characteristics purposes, it has been shown that 11% initialMPG concentration gives the best results.
