Abstract

Surface erosion and particle breakage are commonly accepted as unavoidable phenomena affecting the performance of the pneumatic conveying system. In recent years, numerical modeling for erosive wear and particle breakage has become more common in pneumatic conveying system design. This chapter aims to introduce different methodologies for computationally capturing erosive wear and particle breakage in pneumatic conveying. The chapter also has a detailed discussion of one-dimensional two-phase flow modeling of the industrial conveying pipeline for particle breakage and erosion prediction, including the algorithm for breakage and erosion modeling.
