Hydraulic Transport Research Facility Data Analysis Report
The Bureau of Mines' Hydraulic Transport Research Facility generated a significant amount of data on the transport of 2-inch top-size coal in 6- and 12-inch diameter pipes. Four traditional hydrotransport equations and one new one developed for the Bureau in prior work were tested by using this data. The equations were Durand, the Charles modification of Durand, Newitt, Traynis, and the Eyler equation which was based on the work of K.C. Wilson. The results indicated that none of the equations accurately predict head loss for coarse coal over a wide range of transport velocities. The Eyler-Wilson equation shows promise, but more work is needed to define two of the input parameters.
