Book excerpt: 1,1 Applications of Slurry Transport Vast tonnages are pumped every year in the form of solid-liquid mixtures, known as slurries. The application which involves the largest quantities is the dredging industry, continually maintaining navigation in harbours and rivers, altering coastlines and winning material for landfill and construction purposes. As a single dredge may be required to maintain a throughput of 7000 tonnes of slurry per hour or more, very large centrifugal pumps are used. Figures 1-1 and 1-2 show, respectively, an exterior view of this type of pump, and a view of a large dredge-pump impeller (Addie & Helmley, 1989). The manufacture of fertiliser is another process involving massive slur- transport operations. Li Florida, phosphate matrix is recovered by huge draglines in open-pit mining operations. It is then slurried, and pumped to the wash plants through pipelines with a typical length of about 10 kilometres. Each year some 34 million tonnes of matrix are transported in this manner. This industry employs centrifugal pumps that are generally smaller than those used in large dredges, but impeller diameters up to 1. 4 m are common, and drive capacity is often in excess of 1000 kW.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the industry leading short course of the same name hosted by the GIW Industries Hydraulic Laboratory and founded by Dr. Roland Clift and Graeme Addie, who together with Dr. Ken Wilson continued its development and authored the first edition of this textbook. This fourth edition has been extensively updated by the international team of engineers and authors who inherited this legacy and continue its development to the present day. Focusing on the hydraulic design of slurry pipelines, the pumps that power them, and the interactions between pumps and systems, it retains the classroom tested balance of theoretical development and practical engineering which have made it a slurry transport classic. The topics covered are important to slurry system engineers for the optimization of new designs, as well as the operators of existing systems, who may need to calculate and plan for changing conditions from day to day. Updates to the fourth edition include: · Careful formulation of the theoretical concepts, providing greater clarity of slurry flow dynamics, including a new chapter on the principles and characterization of slurry flows. · Expansion of the 4-Component Models for settling slurry pipeline flow and pump solids effect, based on an extensive series of full-sized tests. · An expanded treatment of complex slurries, including a broader discussion of non-Newtonian fluids and their interaction with coarse particles. · A new chapter on test methods, presenting an overview of slurry system instrumentation, modern techniques for characterizing slurry rheology, and practical advice for planning and executing a slurry test. · An overview of advances in the computational modeling of slurries, including an in-depth parametric study of slurry pump wear and operating cost. The authors highlight methods for achieving energy efficiency, which are crucial to the effective use of scarce resources, given the foundational role of slurry transport systems in the energy intensive industries of mining and dredging. Key concepts are supported with case studies and worked examples. Slurry Transport Using Centrifugal Pumps, fourth edition, is both methodical and in-depth. It is ideal as a teaching tool for classroom or self-directed learning domains, and valuable as a design guide for engineer practitioners at all experience levels.

Book excerpt: Slurry Flow: Principles and Practice describes the basic concepts and methods for understanding and designing slurry flow systems, in-plan installations, and long-distance transportation systems. The goal of this book is to enable the design or plant engineer to derive the maximum benefit from a limited amount of test data and to generalize operating experience to new situations. Design procedures are described in detail and are accompanied by illustrative examples needed by engineers with little or no previous experience in slurry transport. The technical literature in this field is extensive: this book facilitates its use by surveying current research results and providing explanations of mechanistic flow models. This discussion of background scientific principles helps the practitioner to better interpret test data, select pumps, specify materials of construction, and choose measuring devises for slurry transport systems. The extensive range of topics covered in Slurry Flow: Principles and practice includes slurry rheology, homogeneous and heterogeneous slurry flow principles, wear mechanisms, pumping equipment, instrumentation, and operating aspects.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the design of slurry transport equipment used in a variety of industries, the effects of solid particle concentration on hydraulic performance and wear need to be considered. An ultrasound A-mode imaging method has been developed to obtain local particle concentration measurements in slurry flows. Acoustic properties of slurry flows including velocity, backscatter, and attenuation as a function of volume fraction of solid particles, are examined in this study using various transducers. The most suitable transducer is selected to obtain concentration measurements in slurry flows. The technique is used to obtain concentration profiles in a homogeneous (vertical flow) and a non-homogeneous (horizontal flow) slurry flow of soda lime glass beads (195 μm diameter) and water through a one inch diameter loop with solid particle concentrations ranging from 1-10 % by volume. For horizontal flow, profiles are obtained for average flow velocities of 1.2, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 m/s. The algorithm developed utilizes acoustic backscatter and attenuation measurements obtained from the homogeneous loop as calibration data in order to obtain concentration profiles in other (i.e. non-homogenous) flow regimes. A computational study using FLUENT is performed and a comparison is made with the experimental results. A reasonable agreement between the experimental and computational results is observed in the one inch pipe. Following transducer selection and refinement and validation of the technique, it is employed to obtain local particle concentration measurements at multiple locations within the casing of a centrifugal slurry pump. A comparison is made between the experimental results and computational results using a two phase Eulerian-Eulerian finite element model. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and Experimental results at locations F→I share the same trends and relative patterns for differing locations but have substantial differences in magnitude. The CFD consistently shows higher concentration magnitudes than the experimental data. These differences are most likely a result of an un-matched casing inlet concentration boundary condition.
