Rules of Thumb: Pneumatic Conveying
Keep two concepts in mind when considering the use of pneumatic conveying. First, the system pressure decreases along the length of the conveying pipe. This means that the specific volume of the gas increases as does its velocity. These factors limit the conveyance length. Second, there is a minimum velocity needed to carry the …
