Based on the industry leading short course "Transportation of
Solids using Centrifugal Pumps," founded by Dr. Kenneth Wilson and
Graeme Addie, and hosted by the GIW Industries Hydraulic
Laboratory, this expanded fourth edition has been extensively
updated by the international team of engineers and authors who
inherited this legacy and continue its development to the present
day. Focusing on the hydraulic design of slurry pipelines, the
pumps that power them, and the interactions between pumps and
systems, it retains the classroom tested balance of theoretical
development and practical engineering which have made it a slurry
transport classic. The topics covered are important to slurry
system engineers for the optimization of new designs, as well as
the operators of existing systems, who may need to calculate and
plan for changing conditions from day to day. Updates to the fourth
edition include: * Careful formulation of the theoretical concepts,
providing greater clarity of slurry flow dynamics, including a new
chapter on the principles and characterization of slurry flows. *
Expansion of the 4-Component Models for settling slurry pipeline
flow and pump solids effect, based on an extensive series of
full-sized tests. * An expanded treatment of complex slurries,
including a broader discussion of non-Newtonian fluids and their
interaction with coarse particles. * A new chapter on test methods,
presenting an overview of slurry system instrumentation, modern
techniques for characterizing slurry rheology, and practical advice
for planning and executing a slurry test. * An overview of advances
in the computational modeling of slurries, including an in-depth
parametric study of slurry pump wear and operating cost. The
authors highlight methods for achieving energy efficiency, which
are crucial to the effective use of scarce resources, given the
foundational role of slurry transport systems in the energy
intensive industries of mining and dredging. Key concepts are
supported with case studies and worked examples. Slurry Transport
Using Centrifugal Pumps, fourth edition, is both methodical and
in-depth. It is ideal as a teaching tool for classroom or
self-directed learning domains, and valuable as a design guide for
engineer practitioners at all experience levels.
