Problems with coal slurry mixing and discharging!
Thread Content
All slurry tanks are equipped with agitators (to prevent sedimentation). There is usually an outlet at the bottom of the tank that leads to the pump. The slurry is stirred by the agitator, so why don’t we experience fluctuations in the feed flow at the pump’s inlet?
First, explain why there are fluctuations in the amount of material fed at the inlet
In my opinion regarding this issue, the fluctuations in the inlet pressure of the slurry pump are actually very small. If one observes carefully, it can be seen that the level of the slurry in the slurry tank experiences minimal fluctuations during mixing. And there are vortex-breaking baffles inside the groove
A few more words: for a given pipe diameter, the change in flow rate depends on the speed of flow, provided that the fluid flow is continuous rather than intermittent; then isn’t this problem solved?
The original poster should first strengthen their basic knowledge of chemical engineering principles; this is just my personal opinion, please bear with me
Because there is a nitrogen buffer tank at the pump inlet
The pump inlet pressure is stable and the fluid flow is continuous – why are there fluctuations?
