Abstract

ABSTRACT:
This work presents results for slurry transport systems which combines the effect of adding fines to the carrier and varying pipe inclination angle. Results showed that adding fines sometimes reduces pressure head-loss when the pipes starts to incline upward. The deposit velocity increases with pipe inclination till 30° and then decreases. The deposit velocity was found to vary remarkably when fine particles are added to the carrier fluid.
