Inter-American Materials Collaboration: Pneumatic Transport of Bulk Materials

abstractcts - 0305241 g。该提案是基于匹兹堡大学和智利UTFSM的合作。PI是气力输送领域的领先专家。该项目的目标是开发一种改进的流型识别和分类方法，而不是基于目视检查。该方法是修改U. Pitt现有的气动输送设备，使用能够检测气动输送管道中两相气体流动压力的压力传感器。将对实验数据进行分析，以确定与每种流动状态相关的波动压力信号的“指纹”模式。皮特大学和犹他州fsm的实验将相互补充。该项目由国际司和化学和运输系统司共同资助。

ABSTRACTCTS-0305241G. KlinzingUniversity of PittsburghThe proposal is based on collaboration between University of Pittsburgh and UTFSM, Chile. The PI is a leading expert in pneumatic conveying. The goal of this project is to develop an improved method for flow-regime identification and classification, not based upon visual inspection. The approach is to modify an existing pneumatic conveying apparatus at U. Pitt with pressure transducers that are able to detect the two-phase gas flow pressure in a pneumatic conveying pipeline. Experimental data will be analyzed to identify the 'finger print' pattern of the fluctuating pressure signal that is associated with each type of flow regime. Experiments at U Pitt and UTFSM will compliment each other.The project is being co-funded by the International Division and the Division of Chemical and Transport Systems.
