摘要
This paper presents the results of an investigation into how the median size of the particles affects pressure drop when bulk solids are conveyed pneumatically in suspension flow along a straight horizontal pipeline. It is apparent that pressure drop increases with increasing particle size; the degree of increase tends to be largest towards the smaller particle sizes, diminishing as size increases and also diminishing with increasing transport velocities.
