Abstract

This report presents a study for the identification of a possible stratification of the solid phase inside a pipeline. One of the most promising areas in the mining industry is the development of devices for measuring solid mass flowrate in pipelines, mainly in transportation of ore. This step is intended to analyze the response of the MCNP-X code to identify the flow regime for some simplified mathematical models.
