The Handbook of Pneumatic Conveying Engineering provides a complete understanding of every facet of pneumatic conveying system selection, design, maintenance, and optimization. This reference compares various conveying system types, components, and flow mechanisms and offers an abundance of practical guidelines, diagrams, and procedures for expert guidance in plant maintenance, operation, and control. It presents ass tables, graphs, and equations in US engineering units and supplies clear graphical presentations of processes described in the text. Revealing approaches to test, evaluate, and correct both old and newly constructed systems, it includes models and methods for airflow control.
