Fluidized dense phase pneumatic conveying: a review

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the flow of fine powders in the fluidized dense phase, and the performance of the pneumatic conveying system was based on modeling solids friction factor which was used for determining conveying line pressure drop.

Flow regime diagrams for gas-solid fluidization and upward transport

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.

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.
