[TheForge] Engineering data

[Rick]

Hello all -
    I kind of hate to answer my own post, but thought this might be of 
interest to someone.

    Well, guys, I have kept looking for info, and found close to what i was 
looking for, but not exctly.  At http://www.cheresources.com/pnuconvey.shtml 
I found a solution for dilute phase conveying, but I need the dense phase 
conveying info.  Just thought i would keep you all up to date on what I am 
finding on this.

    Ths wood chips I am trying to move are about 15 pounds per cubic foot, 
and this is pretty light compared to some of the powders and dust they say 
they can move.  Ralph Sproul said something about freezingf temperatures and 
moisture in the wood.  That is a good thought, but I don't think it will 
affect us at all.  My boss figures this stuff out in his head, and I thought 
if I could learn some of the ideas I could get a little ahead of him (for a 
change).

Rick
