Abstract

The pressure loss and the particle velocity profiles for ice-water slurry flows in a pipe were experimentally investigated. The pressure loss was larger than that for clear water flows at lower velocities. On the other hand, it was a little smaller than that for clear water flows at higher velocities. The particle velocity profile at lower velocities was distorted by the friction between the ice particle layer and the pipe wall. However, it approximately agreed with that of turbulent clear water flows at higher velocities.A simplified model was proposed to examine the pressure loss for ice-water slurry flows in pipes at higher velocities. This model gave satisfactory results with experiments.
