Pneumatic Conveying of Solids A theoretical and practical approach
Pneumatic conveying is one of the most popular methods of handling bulk powdered and granular materials in mining, chemical and agricultural industries. This 3rd edition of this successful book covers both theoretical and practical aspects of the subject.

Particle Technology Series Volume 8 The Springer Particle Technology Series of books is a continuation of the Kluwer Particle Technology Series, and the successor to the Chapman & Hall Powder Technology Series. The aims are the same, the scope is wider. The particles involved may be solid or they may be droplets. The size range may be granular, powder or nano-scale. The accent may be on materials or on equipment, it may be practical or theoretical. Each book can add one brick to a fascinating and vital technology. Such a vast field cannot be covered by a carefully organised tome or encyclopaedia. Any author who has a view or experience to contribute is welcome. The subject of particle technology is set to enjoy its golden times at the start of the new millennium and it is to be expected that the growth of this series of books will reflect that trend.

Preface to the First Edition
When the four of us decided to collaborate to write this book on pneumatic conveying, there were two aspects which were of some concern. Firstly, how could four people, who live on four different continents, write a book on a fairly complex subject with such wide lines of communications? Secondly, there was the problem that two of the authors are chemical engineers. It has been noted that the majority of chemical engineers who work in the field of pneumatic conveying research have spent most of their time considering flow in vertical pipes. As such, there was some concern that the book might be biased towards vertical pneumatic conveying and that the horizontal aspects (which are clearly the most difficult!) would be somewhat neglected. We hope that you, as the reader, are going to be satisfied with the fact that you have a truly international dissertation on pneumatic conveying and, also, that there is an even spread between the theoretical and practical aspects of pne
