Accelarate Calculation for Pellets

Posted in: , on 13. Oct. 2011 - 12:08

I need to analysis the moving motion of a globle shape pellet in air flow.

I have the following data:

real density of the pellet: D

diameter of the pellet: d

shape: ball with a surface roughness: 0.1mm, material: like plastic.

Wind velosity: V, vertical upward.

Is there a function to calculat the force by the wind on that pellet?

No doubt there are more precise methods, though Navier Stokes?

Dear shenjie,

The acceleration can be calculated with:

Force = mass * acceleration

Or

Acceleration = Force / Particle mass

Force = * dragfactor * airdensity * vrelative^2 * Particlearea - graviatational component - boyancy component

Particle area = pi/4 * d^2

Particle mass = pi/6 * d^3 * particle density

As the particle accelerates, the vrelative decreases and so does the acceleration.

The particle reaches a quasi stationary particle velocity when the acceleration force equals the deceleration forces.

As the conveying air expands along the trajectory, the quasi stationary particle velocity increases along the pipeline.

This is the basic principle of pneumatic conveying.

Have a nice day

Gragfactor? how to workout it?
