Calculate solid flow rate of a pneumatic conveying line
Calculate solid flow rate of a pneumatic conveying line
(OP)
Hello,
I have a Silo-Truck which delivers Flour as raw material pneumaticaly to the Silos. The compressor air flows is 900 m3/hr @ 1,2 bar in a 100 mm pipe. How do i calculate the solid flow rate of flour at the given air flow rate?
I would be grateful for a tipp on how to start the calculation
Best regards,
yuki

RE: Calculate solid flow rate of a pneumatic conveying line
You'll find lots of good guidance for air conveying system design on the internet. I think you're probably running this in a dilute phase mode of operation. If so, refer to the references explaining dilute phase calculations rather than those for dense phase.
