8.3.3.3 Conveying line pressure drop
An alternative presentation of the data in Figures 8.7 and 8.8 is given in Figures 8.9 and 8.10. Conveying line pressure drop is presented on the horizontal axis and the family of curves are drawn for various conveying distances.These two figures show that for short distance conveying a considerable increase in material flow rate can be achieved with an increase in conveying line pressure drop,and very high throughputs can be achieved with relatively small bore pipelines. If the conveying distance is very long, however, the potential of small bore pipelines is very
