Pneumatic Conveying Design Guide Second Edition
The second part of the Pneumatic Conveying Design Guide is devoted entirely to System Design and is an entirely new and updated presentation. In this second edition I have incorporated the main features of the Abbreviated Design Guide in two case studies. These help to reinforce the application of the scaling parameters and design procedures that presented. Particular emphasis is placed on material types and conveying capability, since this is where there have been major advancements in the understanding of the technology. Different grades of exactly the same material can give totally different conveying results and so this aspect of conveying performance is highlighted. Entire chapters devoted to topics such as First Approximation Design Methods and Multiple Use Systems. For feasibility studies, a quick solution is often required so that system economics can be assessed and particularly operating costs.

For this second edition of the Pneumatic Conveying Design Guide I have followed a similar format to the first edition, in that it is in three parts plus appendices. There is often a need for a single system to convey a number of different materials, and possibly to a number of different locations, and these design issues addressed.
