A numerical parametric and optimization study of an industrial air-slide conveyor system

摘要: Abstract A numerical investigation has been conducted to model the cement flow behaviour associated with a full-scale industrial air-slide conveyor (ASC) system. Steady-state simulations on ASC were performed predict its operational and characteristics, comparisons actual data of demonstrate satisfactory agreement. Subsequently, hopper input loading, velocity as well suction fan pressure varied simulated identify how conveying capacity by may be increased. Simulation results indicate that an increase in air chamber leads corresponding because enhanced capability sustain flow, whereas increasing both lead lower demands required existing capacity. Detailed mixture within reveal that, while is highly complex three-dimensional, gross trends between various parameters can isolated successfully offer insights into modified
