Abstract
Transporting fly ash slurry via long pipelines concerns power plants and other industries. Assessment of two-phase flow in pneumatic conveying is still a major concern in many industrial and technological applications. Due to the large number of geometrical and dynamical variables and their interaction, the slurry flow pattern in pneumatic conveying through pipeline is very complex.The solid concentration and velocity profile of fly ash have been examined in this study using numerical modelling to determine how they affect the pressure drop in a 900 bend pipe. Ansys Fluent software is employed to simulate the k - ε turbulence model. The pressure drop increases with increasing velocity and solid concentration.The present study aims to improve our knowledge of two-phase flow and slurry piping system design.
