Overview

The pneumatic conveying of solids is a fast growing technique for the handling of bulk powdered and granular materials in the mining, chemical and agricultural industries.Pneumatic Conveying of Solids covers both theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. It is unique in its blending of academic materials and good industrial design techniques. Each topic is covered in depth, with emphasis placed on the latest techniques, hardware systems and design and research methodology. Its comprehensive worked examples and tables ensure that the reader need not consult any other reference material.This second edition is thoroughly updated and has information on new techniques, procedures and experimental discoveries. Recent developments in the subject covered in this new edition include artificial intelligence, expert systems and neural network analysis.

Reviews

Amazon customer review: <p>Excellent book, more for theoretical approach of the pneumatic conveying preoblems and questions. A good presentation for most of the pneumatic conveying components, but it does not enter the real problem of sizing a pneumatic conveying system.<br>By Vassilis Tsalicoglou
