To Study Of The Movement And Throughput Of Cotton Inside Pneumatic Conveying Pipeline

Abstract

The article discusses the effectiveness of a pneumatic conveyor plant designed to move cotton in a cotton gin plant. The dependence of the throughput capacity of a cotton pneumatic transporting pipeline on its diameter, pipeline material (that is, on the coefficient of friction of cotton on the inner surface of the pipeline), on the speed of the air flow and on the aerodynamic properties of the cotton particle is analyzed. A rational diameter of the pipeline was proposed, which provides the necessary throughput at the minimum cost of air and energy.
