TDA-RCA CAPSULE PIPELINE PROJECT. PHASE I REPORT, PART I

The three-year Capsule Pipeline project was launched to analyze hydrodynamics of capsule pipelining and to produce reliable design equations based on experimental results obtained in pipelines of varying diameters. A series of test lines, one of which would be sufficiently large to produce meaningful measurements, were selected. The goal was to develop analytical means of predicting behavior of trains of capsules of various configurations in liquid carriers. This Phase 1 Report reviews analytical work and details of grants for experiments are given.
