Abstract

Chapter 6 gets down to the basic principles, analysis and design on pneumatic conveying systems. The system is broken down into its major components and energy requirements and relates the physics of gas–solid transport to the practical pressure loss for design purposes. The various components of the system are considered in details with diagrams showing the behavior of the system as well as provided basic design equations for the student and practitioner.
