Session 202: Predicting Performance and Problem Solving in Pneumatic Conveying

Predicting Pneumatic Conveying Performance for Dilute and Dense Phase Conveying Systems-Mark Jones, PhD, Head of Engineering, Director, Centre for Bulk Solids & Particulate Technologies, University of Newcastle; David Mills, PhD, Pneumatic Conveying Consultant

The operation of dilute and dense phase pneumatic conveying systems cannot be predicted from one universal approach. This workshop will explore the various models used for predicting the major design variables for both dilute and dense phase systems. The workshop will explain the basis of the models from a practical point of view, their limitations and how pilot testing can be used to improve the accuracy of prediction. The workshop will provide practical tools for use in estimating the major design parameters which can be used either to specify new systems or to optimize existing systems. Practical examples will be used to illustrate how these methods can be applied to real industrial situations.
