Experimental Data for Model Validation

Requirement of experimental data for model validation

Dear all

I am working on modeling of bulk powder handling (specially drilling mud powder containing cement, barite and bentonite). I want to validate my modeling results by experimental data which is in chapter 13 of the "Handbook of Pneumatic Conveying Engineering, 2004" by Dr.David Mills. However, the data provided are not enough such that I can re-generate the results. In particular, I need these data as well:

-Properties of cement powder (size of particles, particle density and bulk density)

-Exact configuration and dimensions of different sections of pipeline in figure 12.11

-The entrance pressure of this system.

I wanted to kindly ask you for these data in case they are available. That would be a great help to me. Please let me know.

Many thanks.

-The entrance pressure of this system. (As above.)

Many thanks.

My replies in parentheses. This information is certainly available.
