Pump Calculation - Slurry

This document contains calculations for selecting the appropriate pipe size for transporting slurry based on parameters like tonnage per hour, pulp density, solid and liquid specific gravities, solid size, viscosity, and pipe diameter. It calculates values like mass flow rate of water, slurry volume, slurry specific gravity, percent solids by volume, durand factor, required pipe area, and limiting settling velocity. Based on the results, it recommends a pipe size of DN375 as the preferred size since the calculated velocities are acceptable within that size but not for larger diameters.
