| Abstract | A meter was developed to measure the individual rates of solid
and liquid discharge of a sand-water mixture flowing in a pipe.
Equations based on the momentum, energy and continuity relationships
for the flow in the meter enable the solid and liquid discharges to
be determined. The solution of these equations requires the knowledge of the meter geometry, the physical properties of the solid and
liquid components of the flow and the piezometric heads at several
positions along the meter.
Laboratory data were obtained for the flow of a sand-water mixture
through a meter which was mounted in a vertical pipe, one inch in diameter. The sand had a specific gravity of 2.63 and varied in grain
diameters between 0.0232 in. and 0.0331 in. The maximum volumetric
concentration of solid used in the laboratory tests was 19.69 percent.
The solid and liquid discharges, predicted from the measured values
of piezometric head along the meter, were within one percent of the
measured values for most flow conditions. |
