Jondarian Project Stockpile Mass Analysis

And how its affected by conveyor speed

Overview
Introduction The control volume Instantaneous volume and mass Conservation of mass Relationship of Vaverage with (mstockpile)/dt Relationship of Vaverage with time t to fill stockpile Conclusions

Introduction

Conveyor

Coal Mine Storage Power Plant

The control volume

Mass flows in and out during operation Change in mass in stockpile mstockpile = min mout

Instantaneous volume and mass

Mass of coal is given by (volume x density) Total mass at an instant is;

Conservation of mass
By the conservation of mass
Net change in mass within system = Total mass entering system Total mass leaving the system mstockpile = min mpowerplant

Relationship of Vave with dm/dt

Vave versus time to fill stockpile

Conclusion & Questions

This analysis will be useful in; Selecting optimum belt size Giving an indication of operational conveyor speeds Estimating transient states when filling Stockpile
