Design of Slurry Transport Systems

This book benefits users, manufacturers and engineers by drawing together an overall view of the technology. It attempts to give the reader an appreciation of the extent to which slurry transport is presently employed, the theoretical basis for pipeline design, the practicalities of design and new developments. Prediction of flow parameters. Pumps and pumping systems. Wear in pumps and pipelines. Material preparation and dewatering. Instrumentation. Additional aspects of slurry systems. Alternative forms and applications. Practical applications and economics. References. Appendices. Index.
