Abstract

Particle and relative velocity evaluations are essential for the design and modeling in conveying systems. Although the subject was widely researched, The relationship between the particle's slip velocity in pneumatic and hydraulic systems has not been adressed and it still lacks a correlation that will be consistent over various operating conditions and materials for both conveying medias. The current paper presents a thorough experimental investigation of particle velocity obtained from a 1", 2" and 3" dilute phase pneumatic conveying system and a 2" hydraulic conveying system with various operating conditions and conveyed materials. The velocity was obtained using a high speed camera combined with image processing. Data was obtained for each particle allowing an investigation of the effect each component has on the equivalent velocity. A correlation is suggested for particle slip velocity evaluation in the range of the tested operating conditions.
