SOLID PIPE-LINE CONSERVES ENERGY

Survey of the various pipe-line transport systems for solids: -packaged materials (capsule); -liquefied materials (gas or liquid). As a comparison, the paper gives numerical data on this latest mode of transport and on competitive transport modes: rail, road, waterways, plane. Then it gives a detailed account of energy consumption for coal transport, in Arizona, over 273 miles, by pipe-line and by railway. In conclusion, the authors enumerate the advantages of this mode of transport, for environment and other purposes, which make it even more favourable.
