Dear dineshpanta,

If you want to use ANSYS, but you still have to learn how to use ANSYS, I would suggest to contact ANSYS first and inform yourself about courses in programming ANSYS.

Whether the learning can be done in a short time, I doubt that.

And it is not only learning the ANSYS software, also the physics of pneumatic conveying has to be fully understood for proper modeling.

A material with a particle distribution interacts with the conveying gas, whereby the particle fractions are accelerated at different velocities, causing interactions between particles at different velocities.

The energy losses of the gas/material flow cause a pressure drop.

The expansion of the gas causes in the first instance a temperature drop, but also heat transfer from the particles to the gas and environment. Some friction losses are converted into heat, influencing the mixture temperature.

(It took me many, many years of mathematical modeling and research to build a program that can do all this and more. Not a finite element analysis program.)

Then, the simulation result should be for a specific conveying rate, whereby the starting pressure and end pressure are consistent with reality.

Starting a calculation with a certain pressure and conveying rate, ending in an end pressure of 0.1 bar absolute is not realistic.

This is indicating the necessity of an iteration process.

Not knowing how long the short time is that you have, I would say that a time schedule of your project should be made, to find out whether the expectations are realistic.
