Abstract

The hydraulic transportation of perspex cuboids of cross-sectional dimensions 12. 5 mm multiplied by 12. 5 mm and length 51 mm, 25 mm and 12 mm was investigated in pipes of diameter 152 mm and 95 mm. The mode and quality of transportation was studied and critical flow velocities for minimum pressure loss were calculated. The operation of hydraulic transportation systems at the critical velocity can result in significant energy saving on industrial plants.
