Pneumatic conveying
About this book
Pneumatic Conveying is a comprehensive technical treatise that delves into the principles, design, and practical applications of pneumatic conveying systems, which are used for the transportation of bulk materials through pipelines by means of air or other gases. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the fundamental theories underlying pneumatic transport, including the behavior of air and materials in motion, pressure and velocity relationships, and the effects of pipe diameter, length, and layout on system performance. It covers the various types of pneumatic conveying systems, such as dilute phase and dense phase conveying, and discusses their respective advantages, limitations, and suitable applications. The text offers detailed guidance on the selection and sizing of equipment, including blowers, compressors, feeders, and separators, as well as the design of pipelines and ancillary components. It addresses the challenges of handling different types of materials, from fine powders to granular and abrasive substances, and provides practical solutions for minimizing wear, reducing energy consumption, and ensuring reliable operation. The book also includes numerous diagrams, tables, and case studies that illustrate real-world installations and operational considerations. Intended for engineers, plant managers, and students in the fields of mechanical, chemical, and process engineering, Pneumatic Conveying serves as both a foundational reference and a practical manual. It reflects the state of the art in pneumatic transport technology of its time, offering insights into system troubleshooting, maintenance, and optimization. With its clear explanations and thorough coverage, this book remains a valuable resource for anyone involved in the design, operation, or improvement of pneumatic conveying systems.
