Selection of pipeline slope
Thread Content
The mixture of silicon carbide and polyethylene glycol has a density of 1.7 kg/L and a viscosity of 300 mPa. It's around s. Now, I want to transport it by gravity (without pressure); what should be the slope of the pipeline?
One is to make the inner wall of the pipe smoother by applying polishing; the other aspect is the slope of the pipe, which can be determined based on the slope of the melt, ranging from 2% to 5%. I’m not sure if it’s correct?
Three to five thousandths, I guess. I’ve never worked with such fluids before
For gravity flow, a slope isn’t necessarily required; as long as there is a sufficient height difference between the starting point and the ending point, that should be enough
Thank you to all the sea friends for your enthusiastic replies. Taking everyone’s opinions into account, let’s first create a slope in the pipeline for a test to measure the flow rate.
A few thousandths, I’m not very familiar with fluids, so I’m asking
