Theory and Design of Dilute Phase Pneumatic Conveying Systems

摘要

This article describes the theory and calculation method for designing dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems.It is based on the work of Dr.F.A.ZENZ and Dr.D.F.OTHMER as described by them in their book "Fluidization and Fluid-Particle Systems" published in 1960(Ref.1).This method was later modified by Dr.ZENZ based on his research work during the 70's and 80's and published in the proceedings of the Particle Science Research Institute(PSRI).Although,several other methods have been published since then,this method has been used widely and has been found to be within about 10% of the actual measured pressure drop.
