A Model has been written to determine the volume of the void spaces in Fly Ash and thus enable the pumpability of slurry consisting of a mixture the Fly Ash and water to be determined. This paper report on a comparison of the data from the Model and the pumpability of Fly Ash Slurries as determined from by a Rotary Viscometer. Extended Abstract Status: File Uploaded | ||
