Worked Example of a Dilute Phase Conveying Systems Design 10 metric tons/hr of polyethylene

Worked Example of a Dilute Phase Conveying Systems Design 10 metric tons/hr of polyethylene particles are to be conveyed over a piping system with 125 meters of distance, 40 vertical feet and 4 short radius bends. Max Discharge Velocity = 28 m/s Max Temperature from Blower = 75 C Particles are 2 x 2 mm cylinders Density 920 kg/m 3 2

Need to find D of the Pipe to accommodate the pressure available Note: Need to account for pressure loses due to entering gas, silencer an collection device. 11

Procedure Need to start at the end of the pipeline where the system pressure

Procedure Need to start at the end of the pipeline where the system pressure and velocity are specified. Take the value of the conditions at the end of each pipe section when applying over each pipe section. 12

Assume D and perform the pressure loss calculations on all sections including the bends

Assume D and perform the pressure loss calculations on all sections including the bends and the acceleration region. Care needs to be taken to choose pipe sizes that are standard. 13
