Mill Discharge Slurry Data

This document contains test data from 5 runs measuring the pressure drop across a tube transporting a slurry at various flow rates. The test data includes the tube dimensions, slurry properties, measured pressure drops, and calculated velocities and shear rates. The data was input into a software called Fathom which modeled the flow using Bingham plastic and power law models. Graphs compare the test data and model predictions of pressure drop versus flow rate.
