The principal investigator proposes fundamental, experimental, and              modelling approaches to pneumatic transport to provide a firmer basis           for scale-up and more efficient operation.  The independent variables           to be explored experimentally are:  geometry (vertical, horizontal and          inclined test sections of 1, 2, and 4-inch diameter pipes); particle            size (2-1000 microns); particle densities (1000-7600 kg/m); and                 different flow rates.  The following dependent variables are to                 measured:  particle velocity, power spectral density function of the            particle velocity sensor for cluster sizing, pressure fluctuation,              pressure distribution along the circumference of the pipe, pressure             drop, and visual observations which will be recorded on videotape.              This basic information will be utilized in a modeling effort to                 interpret the findings and project scale-up.
