CAPACITY OF A HOPPER WITH CIRCULAR X-SECTION AT TOP & BOTTOM

NAME OF THE PROJECT L&T Etihad 25-May-20

MATERIAL / CAPACITY Cement D
A)CAPACITY CALCULATION:
Angle of Cone, in degrees = q = 20
Diameter of Cylinder, in m =D = 3.000
Diameter at outlet, in m =d = 0.500
Height of Cylinder portion of Hopper, in m =h = 19.545
Top height to be considered as empty, in m =D = 1.000
Angle of repose of material, in degrees = a = 35
Bulk density, in t/m3 =r = 1.200
Height of bottom cone, in m = hc = 0.455 d
Total Height of Hopper, in m =H = 20.000
Total Volume of Hopper, in m3 =V = 127.418
Total Capacity of Hopper, in T =C = 153
B)SURFACE AREA & WEIGHT CALCULATION
Surface area of top, in m2 = St = 7
Surface area of cylinder, in m2 = Scy = 184
Surface area of cone, in m2 = Sc = 7
Total Surface area of the hopper, in m2 =S = 199
Plate Thickness, in mm =t = 14
Total Volume of Steel plate, in m3 =v = 2.780
Weight of Hopper @7850kg/m3 density, in kg =w = 21825
%age of weight to be considered for stiffeners, supporting ring etc. =k = 50
Total Weight of the Empty Hopper, in T =W = 33
