Pickup Velocity for Pneumatic Conveying
Solids loading ratio is defined as the ratio of the mass flow rate of the material conveyed to the mass flow rate of the air used to convey the material and is evaluated as a dimensionless number. For dilute-phase conveying, values are typically up to about 15, although they can be higher if the pressure gradient is high, as with a short ...
