文摘

A novel, first-principles mathematical model for plug formation in slurry pipelines is proposed. The model is a relatively easy-to-use tool for practitioners in “what-if” scenario studies, both in the design phase and during operation. The model emphasizes the importance of top-size control of the slurry particles. Since the described phenomena are very difficult to capture in a pilot plant, there is practically no feasible experimental alternative for the model.
