ABSTRACT

The results of flow experiments for several kinds of ash are presented. The experiments were carried out on the two laboratory stands at the Institute of Environmental Engineering, Agricultural University of Wroclaw. The pressure drop, limit deposit velocity, mixture density distribution in a cross-section of pipeline and pump characteristics are measured during these experiments. The measurements of density distribution were carried out by means of a device based on radiometric scanning, which enables us to determine these parameters without causing disturbances in the flow. The problem of limit concentration between Newtonian and non-Newtonian behaviour of mixtures is also discussed.

The results of investigations into parameters of hydrotransport of ash and brine mixture in pipelines (80 and 100 mm) are presented. The investigations were carried out on the test laboratory installation at the Silesian Technical University of Gliwice. The results can be used for the design

Key words: ash, mixture flow, pipeline, density distributions..
