Flow regime diagrams for gas-solid fluidization and upward transport
H.T. Bi,John R. Grace +1 more
TL;DR: The boundary between fast fluidization and dilute-phase pneumatic transport is set by the type A choking velocity, at which the uniform suspension collapses and particles start to accumulate in the bottom region of the transport line as mentioned in this paper.

Numerical simulation and experimental analysis of gas/solid flow systems: 1999 Fluor-Daniel Plenary lecture
TL;DR: A brief review of current techniques in solid flow measurement and recent contributions of the multiphase flow approach to gas/solid flow systems and fluidization can be found in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview: Pneumatic transport of solids
TL;DR: In this article, the most significant advantages, disadvantages and pitfalls of pneumatic conveying technology are summarized, and a discussion of the development of prediction procedures for pressure drop and state of flow is used to show the development in the technology itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pickup (critical) velocity of particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present experimental results on pickup velocity (critical velocity) measurements for a variety of particulate solids and define three zones by establishing simple relationships between the Reynolds and Archimedes numbers.

Solids Flow Imaging and Attrition Studies in a Pneumatic Conveyor
TL;DR: In this paper, the first application of a non-invasive capacitance tomographic technique to monitoring the behaviour of industrial-scale pneumatic conveyors was described, and the results showed that particle breakage rates are inversely related to the solids loading factor.
