Pneumatic conveying experiments involving monodisperse and binary-size mixtures of glass beads with charges in the range of −10 to 10 nC have been carried out. The mass loss method was adopted, with the minimum pickup velocity (Upu) determined as the minimum velocity at which entrainment occurred. S...
