CE 210Flow Of Bulk Solids From Silos Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Fluid Lab Equipment
Influence of wall material and inclination of hopper walls on flow profile and outflow time Features - adjustable silo geometry - different types of discharge: mass flow, funnel flow and arching Learning objectives/experiments - how wall material and inclination of the hopper walls affect the outflow time - demonstrate typical discharge types in silos: -- mass flow -- funnel flow -- arching - how flow properties affect outflow time and flow profiles - comparison of different bulk solids - review of the silo design used in CE 200 Specification [1] investigation of the outflow of bulk solids from silos with wedge-shaped discharge hoppers [2] demonstration of arching, mass flow and funnel flow with different bulk solids [3] two silos with different hopper wall materials [4] front walls of the silo made of transparent material [5] silos can be removed for cleaning [6] angle of the hopper wall adjustable while retaining constant outlet cross-section [7] tamper for compacting the bulk solids [8] stopwatch for determining outflow times [9] practical review of the design results from CE 200
