    Pneumatic Conveying Calculation

    Uploaded by

    hadi
    This document contains information and calculations for pneumatic conveying of solids through pipes. It provides details of the solids and gas properties, pipe dimensions, and calculates variables like velocity, pressure drops, and flow rates. The calculations show that larger pipe diameters and smaller particle sizes result in lower pressure drops and higher conveying capacities.
