Experimental Investigation Of Low-Velocity Slug-Flow In A Horizontal Pipeline, David B. Hastie, Renhu Pan, Peter W. Wypych, P R Guiney

David Hastie

An experimental program was instigated to investigate boundaries in low-velocity slug-flow pneumatic conveying. Two straight horizontal pipelines of L = 21 m were set up for actual conveying trials using two different wall materials, stainless steel and aluminium. Observations of the pneumatic conveying tests were used in determining the location of boundaries and verifying the theoretical predictions.
