Abstract
A new correlation for solids friction factor in vertical upward pneumatic conveying lines is hereby proposed. This correlation consists of easy-to-measure variables which makes it quite practical. Its accuracy is about ‡20%. The proposed correlation can be used in conjunction with the theoretically derived equations suggested earlier (Özbelge 1983) to calculate voidage, drag velocity, solids phase velocity and density without the need of any pressure drop data.
