Pressurre drop fine sand pipeline

Posted in: , on 9. Mar. 2006 - 12:44

I'm an italian engineer student. I'm making a research on sand slurry flow.

Can anyone help me????

I'm interesting to pressure drop of fine sand dredge pipeline (heterogeneus settling flow) in horizontal, vertical, inclined pipe with these characteristics:

Q= 1 - 1.5 mc/s

d50 = 0.1 - 0.2 mm;

D pipe = 0.5 - 0.6 m;

C vol = 15 - 20%.

I have read something in literature but the field/lab data very was few.

I'm "desperate"...Can you help me?

Thank you very much.

Kind regards

Pressure Drop Data

Posted on 13. Mar. 2006 - 05:31

I have given pressure drop data in 50 mm diameter horizontal smooth pipeline for spherical glass beads in the velocity range from 1 to 5 m/s and overall volumetric concentration range from 0 to 50% in one of my recent publications [IJMF, 31(7)809-823]. The link for this publication is available on following web page:
