Any scientific behavior is best represented by nondimensional numbers. However, in many
cases, for pneumatic conveying systems, dimensional equations are developed and used. In …

Moist-mixed materials for shotcrete is an effective way to solve the volume control of
shotcrete equipment in small and medium cross-section tunnels. The material of moist …

The slug characteristics of dense phase pneumatic conveying of coarse particles were
numerically studied on the basis of experimental verification. A light medium mixed flow …

Dense phase pneumatic conveying is preferred by industry over dilute phase flow due to its
advantages. Models enabling to calculate pressure drop are worthless for a designer if he is …

The gas-solid two-phase flow of stiff shotcrete in horizontal pneumatic conveying was
experimentally studied to reveal the flow characteristics of stiff shotcrete in a horizontal …

Due to their differences, predictive methods suitable for dilute and dense phase pneumatic
conveying are rare in the literature. Conveying trials are often required to characterise a …

This study used a 3D coupled CFD-DEM model to study velocity and porosity relationships
within horizontal dense phase pneumatic conveying. Inlet velocities, initial layer fractions …

Abstract Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) has been used to detect different phases
based on differences in conductivities in multiphase systems. For the first time, ERT is used …

Pneumatic conveying is a widely applied technique for the transportation of powders. Dense
phase conveying such as slug flow is the preferable operating condition of such transport …

This paper presents the results of using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to study various
dynamic relationships in horizontal slug flow pneumatic conveying. The accuracy of the IMU …
