Abstract

The pipeline transportation characteristics of uncooked potato chips in water have been studied and the results compared with correlations obtained for the transportation of plastic cuboids with the same cross‐sectional dimensions. It was found that the general functional relationship relating pressure drop to flow velocity for plastic cuboids could be applied to potato chips. The constants in this relationship have been determined for the transportation of potato chips in pipelines of 95 and 152 mm diameters.
