    Pneumatic Conveying Calcs

    Uploaded by

    Clarence AG Yue
    This document provides an example calculation for estimating the pressure drop of dilute phase pneumatic conveying of solids through a pipeline. It includes inputs for the conveying gas, solids, pipeline characteristics, and intermediate calculations. The outputs estimate the pressure drops from the gas flow, solids acceleration, conveying solids through the pipeline, and lifting solids vertically and through elbows to determine the total estimated pressure drop. Conversion factors and properties for common conveying gases and piping schedules are also included.
