Modelling of Bypass Pneumatic Conveying Systems

我们日常生活中使用的许多实物在制造过程中都需要以粉末或颗粒状材料的形式进行运输和处理。无论是食品（糖、面粉）、化学品（肥皂粉、洗涤剂）还是发电（煤和灰烬）；这些行业都使用管道的灵活性作为运输机制。然而，并非所有的材料都能在常规管道中可靠地输送。该项目将为旁路系统如何通过调节管道长度来克服这一问题提供基本的理解。这些结果将导致更好的管道设计结果，最终将扩大使用具有成本效益的气动管道输送过程。

Many of the physical items we use in our daily lives have at some point required transport and handling as powdered or granular materials during the manufacturing process. Be it food (sugar, flour), chemicals (soap powders, detergents) or power generation (coal and ash); each of these industries uses the flexibility of pipelines as a transport mechanism. However, not all materials will convey reliably in conventional pipelines. This project will provide the fundamental understanding of how bypass systems can overcome this problem by conditioning the material along the pipeline length. The results will lead to better pipeline design outcomes that will ultimately expand the use of the cost effective process of pneumatic pipeline conveying.
