Experimental investigation of coarse particle conveying in pipes
Vlasák, Pavel ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Konfršt, Jiří ; Krupička, Jan
The advanced knowledge of particle-water mixture flow behaviour is important for safe, reliable, and economical design and operation of the freight pipelines. The effect of the mixture velocity and concentration on the coarse particle – water mixtures flow behaviour was experimentally investigated on an experimental pipe loop of inner diameter D = 100 mm with horizontal, vertical, and inclined pipe sections. Narrow particle size distribution basalt pebbles were used as model of coarse-grained solid particles. The radiometric method was used to measure particle concentration distribution in pipe cross-section. Mixture flow behaviour and particles motion along the pipe invert were studied in a pipe viewing section. The study revealed that the coarse particlewater mixtures in the horizontal and inclined pipe sections were significantly stratified. The particles moved principally in a layer close to the pipe invert. However, for higher and moderate flow velocities the particles moved also in the central part of the pipe cross-section, and particle saltation was found to be dominant mode of particle conveying.

The paper deals with flow behaviour of slurries containing colloidal, clay, dust and also coarse-grained particles. The slurry flow behaviour changes form Newtonian to non-Newtonian in dependence on the solid phase concentration and composition, especially on the contents of colloidal particles. Flow behaviour of fluidic fly and bottom ash slurries, clay and sand slurries was experimentally investigated with respect to the solids composition, volumetric concentrationa and slurry velocity. The re-circulation pipe loop with smooth stainless steel pipes of the inner diameters D = 17.5, 26.8 and 36 mm was used for measuring the slurry flow parameters. Also the effect of time and intensity of shearing was studied for time dependent fluidic ash slurries
