Derive an equation for estimating the motor power required for a positive action pneumatic conveyor(Typed Answer Please)

Solution

A pneumatic conveying system transfers powders, granules, and other dry bulk materials through an enclosed pipeline. The motive force for this transfer comes from a combination of pressure differential and the flow of a gas, such as air or nitrogen. (For simplicity, we’ll call the gas “air” in this article.) The system’s basic elements include a motive air source (also called an air mover, such as a fan or blower), a feeder or similar material-introduction de- vice, a conveying line, a termination vessel (such as an air- material receiver), and a dust collection system.

While some of the most common materials transferred by pneumatic conveying systems are flour, cement, sand, and plastic pellets, any of hundreds of chemicals, food prod- ucts, and minerals can be pneumatically conveyed. These materials are usually fairly dry; materials in slurry or paste form typically aren’t suited to pneumatic conveying.
