MIXED-REGIME SLURRIES IN PIPELINES. I: MECHANISTIC MODEL

A 3-component mechanistic model is developed for analyzing the hydraulic transport of solids in pipeline problems. The model takes into account Newtonian or non-Newtonian vehicles as well as sloping pipelines and slurries with bed load components. A computer program has been developed for analyzing the problem of determining the friction head loss gradient and deposition velocity for all slurries, and experimental data from various laboratories and prototype installations have revealed a consistently high correlation with the analytical procedure. An example is described.
