Flow Parameters: Production of SolidsThe production of solids is an important parameter from the economic
point of view. It gives the amount of dry solids delivered at the pipeline outlet over a certain time period.
This is defined as the (volumetric) flow rate of solids at the outlet of a slurry pipeline

During a dredging operation the parameters Vm and Cvd are usually measured in a pipeline of known D so that the production of solids given by a solids flow rate can be determined.

PRODUCTION LIMITATIONS
I. Too Short Pipeline: the pump tends to operate outside a normal working range, the pump speed must be lowered to avoid cavitation
II. Pipeline Distance Within a Normal Working Range of a Pump: a pump operates at maximum speed and mixture of maximum attainable density is transported
III. Too Long Pipeline: the pump tends to operate outside a normal working range, the mixture density must be lowered to maintain velocity above the deposition limit in a pipeline
