System description of the ANL (Argonne National Laboratory) Slurry Loop Testing facility (SLTF)
This report describes a test loop specifically designed for dense slurries. The loop provides flow velocity and medium composition calibrations within 1%, as well as online rheometric characterization in non-Newtonian, laminar flow, by means of several unique calibration facilities developed at Argonne National Laboratory. Two horizontal test sections of 6 and 12 m length, as well as a vertical test section of 6 m length, are provided for flowmeter calibration; up to 5 flowmeters can be accommodated simultaneously. In addition to the online calibration schemes, which rank this test loop among the most accurate facilities currently existing, extensive laboratory characterization of grab samples is available. Initial work with coal/oil and coal/water slurries ranged over 60% solids. 18 refs., 26 figs., 1 tab.
