Book Description

The studies under the program were relatively modest, but they did serve to demonstrate some of the attractive properties of the material as well as its limitations. Specifically, the dropout behavior was demonstrated in piping a tank systems in both conventional and specially designed systems, Hydraulic characteristics were demonstrated, and it was observed that a 10 vol.% slurry was the maximum concentration that could conveniently be handle in conventional engineering systems. In-pile performance of the slurry was demonstrated and it was concluded that slurries do have potential for application in specialized, advanced systems.
