Hi everybody!

I am trying to make pneumatic conveying sytem for some experiments I am about to perform. I would like to size the system proprely. Does anyone have an idea where to find a programme (or spreadsheet) to calculate pessure drops and capacity of pneumatic conveying systems-preferably a free programe. Calculations do not need to be very accurate (laboratory system will be much overdesigned), I just need them fast.

Thanks and best regards!
