Abstract: Analytical methods are described that were developed to undertake the pump manifold calculations for hydraulic air compressors (HACs) where multiple pumps are installed in parallel configurations. The procedures are fast ...

Abstract: After air and water mixing, the process of gas compression in the downcomer shaft or pipe of a hydraulic air compressor is considered nearly isothermal due to (i) the mass flow rate of water being typically of three orders ...

Abstract: Mining operations are located in increasingly remote areas in order to search for relatively highgrade mineral deposits, despite the challenges that arise. These challenges are fundamentally logistic and directly impact ...
