Abstract

The pipeline at the thermal power station is now being used to conveying fly ash in the form of slurry. The objective of this research is to investigate the rheological behaviour of slurry suspensions of finer particles (FA) with and without coarser particles added (BA). In terms of weight, the ratios of fly ash to bottom ash (BA) are as follows: 9:1, 8:1, 7:3, and 6:4 respectively. Experiments on the rheology of each and every sample of slurry are carried out at shear rates ranging from 100 to 250 seconds-1. The temperature of the slurry suspension might range anywhere from 25 to 35 °C when it has a solid concentration of 30% (by weight). When finer fly ash slurry particles are combined with coarser bottom ash particles, the rheological properties of the resulting slurry suspension are significantly improved in terms of sustainable flow. The exhaustive assessments also investigate whether or not it is possible to conveying ash slurry by pipeline through sustainability.
