The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.1 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0002 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRACT

Pipeline transportation of solid particles finds a unique place in industrial applications and is characterized with cost effectiveness for long distances, reliability, low maintenance, low air- and noise pollution, and more importantly eco-friendly. Many industrially important minerals and ores such as coal, iron ore concentrate, phosphate concentrate, copper concentrate, zinc concentrate, and limestone can be transported successfully over long distances. The rheological behavior of limestone–water slurry samples was investigated in slurry concentration range of 40–70% by weight. The slurry showed Newtonian behavior up to a solids concentration of 62.5% by weight, beyond which the slurry was non-Newtonian in nature and fitted quite well to the power-law model. Based on the flow characteristics and rheological data generated, appropriate Newtonian and non-Newtonian head-loss models were employed to compute the head loss of limestone slurry in the studied range of solid concentrations. The specific power consumption (SPC) data evaluated with respect to slurry concentration for four different pipe sizes (150 NB, 200 NB, 250 NB, and 300 NB pipes) indicated that the SPC is minimum at CW = 65%. Therefore, for limestone slurry to be transported economically, the pipelines should operate around this concentration.
