Abstract
Overall concentration profiles and particle size distribution have bee n measured inside a 90 degrees bend along four diameterical planes ove r a range of concentrations and velocities. The results illustrate the phenomena of redistribution of particles of various size fractions. T he migration of larger size fractions towards the outer wall may be on e of the causes of the excessive wear in bends between 0-90 degrees on the outer surface. The phenomenon is dependent on the operating veloc ity, concentration and particle size distribution.
