Abstract
In some copper, iron, and other mineral product mines, pipes are used to transfer solid–liquid slurry by gravity. In these sloping pipes in the slack state (half-filled), fluid flow is simulated in an open channel, and a hydraulic jump occurs in the pipe with sudden changes in the slope downstream; also, the type of jump is determined based on the Froude number. The design of the pipe's diameter is critical to reducing costs in gravity solid–liquid slurry transfer lines. Parameters such as pipe slope, pipe material, type of jump, the initial filling ratio, the diameter of particles, and solid density affect the design diameter; the corresponding graphs are also presented. In this study, the design diameters for the gravity slurry transfer line in two copper mine cases have been investigated and suitable inner diameters have been suggested for each case. Finally, outer diameters are selected according to the standard table.
