Abstract

The pressure drop characteristics of air particle flow in a powder transport piping system were analyzed in this study. The pressure drop characteristics of air particle flow in the piping system have not well understood due to the complexibility of particle motion mechanism. Particles or powders suspended in the air flow cause the increase of the pressure drop and affect directly transport efficiency. In this study, the pressure drop in a powder transport piping system was analyzed with interactions of air flow and particle motion in straight and curved pipes. The total pressure drop increased with pipe length, mixture ratio, and friction factor of particles because of increased friction loss of air and particles in the piping system. For the coal powders of $74{\mu}msize$ and powder-to-air mass mixture ratio of 0.667, the total pressure drop under the consideration of powders and air flow was calculated as much as 30% higher than that air flow only.
