A study has been conducted on a slurry flow behavior in vertical tubes having diameters of one inch in an upflow mode. A tube sampling technique and an optical electronics method were developed to determine the slurry concentration and flow rates for flurries comprised of different size particles. These methods will be applied in cold flow simulation of a shell and tube slurry heat exchanger.
