According to flexibility of pneumatic conveying systems with respect to other types of transmission systems, this system has wide application in industry and agriculture processes. One important application of this system is in the loading and unloading tankers and powdery bulk materials such as trucks carrying cement, plaster and sand. Conveying efficiency is associated with pressure, which in...

Conveying hard and the abrasive materials has been one of the major operational problems in industrial situations. The erosion of plant components, especially the pipe bends by abrasive solid particles of a fluid stream makes installation of pneumatic conveying systems a very costly affair for industry. Most users have either lived with the problem or have employed expensive bend materials to r...

Pneumatic conveying is widely used for transporting granular materials and agricultural products. Traditional flow visualization methods are used extensively in experimental fluid dynamics but have not been commonly used with agricultural products as the flow seeding particle. A flow visualization method that can provide qualitative flow visualization images and quantitative values to describe ...
