1608 Factor of Transportation Efficiency Improvement by Rotary Feeder in Plug Transportation
Details
The difference between rotary feeder system and the vessel system on transportation efficiency could not be made sure. But the air velocity in the rotary feeder system was slightly faster than that in vessel system under the same air mass flow rate. This means that pressure drop in the rotary feeder system is smaller than that in vessel. The cause is the number of incorporated plugs in the vessel is lager than that in the rotary feeder system, because deviation of plug velocity and plug length in the vessel is far larger than that in the rotary feeder system. Additionally, the rotary feeder system could take the transportation limit of air mass flow rate down. This is also caused from small pressure drop in the rotary feeder system.
