Abstract

Transportation of solid particles through pipe line using air or water as a carrier fluid are widely used in the various types of industry. In this study, theoretical study is directed to develop general mathematical relations that could be utilized to predict the pressure drop and critical velocity for fluid-solid mixture flow through the pipe of any inclination. A general equation has been developed for solid transportation using fluid media in pipe, equation of head loss predicts quite accurately the flow of solids, of any shape, size and specific in pipe of and sizes and orientation (horizontal, inclined and vertical ). These equation have been compared with a various existing experimental results by other investigators and were given an accurate agreement.
