Rieber, M; Soo, S L

Based on past and current studies, a theoretical analysis of a coal carrying pneumatic pipeline is presented, including: friction factors, minimum transport velocity, and pipeline telescoping. A 3.5 mile, 200TPH, pilot facility is designed. Cost analyses are presented. These and the design are extrapolated to a 100 mile line, smaller coal sizes and greater throughput.
