Motion of a single particle in a horizontal pipe
The motion of a single particle in a smooth horizontal pipe is investigated experimentally and numerically with respect to particle trajectory height, velocity and angular velocity. The particle trajectory height is experimentally determined by using a particle collecting net. Both results show that a spherical particle finally moves near the smooth pipe bottom and the angular velocity of the particle takes a maximum against gas velocity for a given distance from the particle feeding point.
