And it is a rotating drum rotating at 4 rpm at inclined position at an angle 2 degree.

Pl revert

Why not measure it?

Are both sides of your bed the wrong side?

Those things are pretty cool, but I bet they're also very pricey.

I plagiarized the picture. Don't know the child.

So, the change in volume in a tank over a time period is unsuitable, eh?

And it is not a fluid , it is a mixture of Iron,Limestone e.t.c which forms a solid mass

Pl Help

What do you know about this pipe and mixture?

What is the specific gravity of the slurry?

What can you see and measure for inlet pressure, outlet pressure, and pipe size, length?

If the slurry is moving from one tank to another tank, can you measure the level of the tank?

If you are pumping the slurry, what is the horsepower of the pump?

You may want to review thixotropic fluids or non-Newtonian fluids for insight on calculating fluid flow and velocity also.

What we have here, is failure to communicate.

Slurry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your title says slurry. A slurry is NOT a solid mass.

But some slurries will behave in non-Newtonian fashion.

Slurry - Wiki link, non-Newtonian

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thixotropy

Depending on particle size and the thickness of the mix, our OP probably has a complex calculation and/or measurement process to consider.

In comment 11, he notes it is in a rotating drum rotating at 4 rpm. I could guess that if the drum does not rotate the slurry will stop moving.

Not knowing from whence you hail, I cannot judge the relevance of your comment.

Op is from Pakistan, I am from rural Arkansas, USA.

I fully concur with your assessment that, "if the drum does not rotate the slurry will stop moving."

I'm not sure we're ready to discuss Newtonian fluids with the OP.

I am from suburban Chicago, Ill in noise! (lousy politicians!)

I know I do not know enough to discuss this topic, and I think we might have scared away the OP.

He asked a simple question, and I think he was hoping for a simple answer. But without knowing what he can measure, there is no way to tell him what or how to calculate the answer!
