Abstract:

This study aims to construct certain types of pipe geometries which will make it easier for the solids (particularly for those having a low relative density, 960 kg/m3) to go through the pipeline during the hydraulic transport of solids. The experiments conducted have revealed that there must be a low-pressure region around the pipeline supply point for the solid particles (d=0.014 m) to be incorporated into the system. A two-stage experiment was carried out to obtain a low-pressure region. The low-pressure values obtained (the minimum static pressure value; -1.32 kPa) were compared with the results found by the methods known. Sufficient pressure drops were generated to incorporate the solids into the system by means of the developed pipe geometries. The velocities gained in such a pipe construction were observed to be higher than the velocities gained in the venturimeter section under normal conditions.
