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

NAME OF THE PROJECT 29-Jul-21

MATERIAL / CAPACITY D
A)CAPACITY CALCULATION:
Angle of Cone, in degrees = q = 55
Diameter of Cylinder, in m =D = 9.000
Diameter at outlet, in m =d = 2.600
Height of Cylinder portion of Hopper, in m =h = 13.960
Top height to be considered as empty, in m =D = 1.000
Angle of repose of material, in degrees = a = 10
Bulk density, in t/m3 =r = 1.200
Height of bottom cone, in m = hc = 4.570 d
Total Height of Hopper, in m =H = 18.530
Total Volume of Hopper, in m3 =V = 923.824
Total Capacity of Hopper, in T =C = 1109
B)SURFACE AREA & WEIGHT CALCULATION
Surface area of top, in m2 = St = 64
Surface area of cylinder, in m2 = Scy = 395
Surface area of cone, in m2 = Sc = 102
Total Surface area of the hopper, in m2 =S = 560
Plate Thickness, in mm =t = 16
Total Volume of Steel plate, in m3 =v = 8.960
Weight of Hopper @7850kg/m3 density, in kg =w = 70334
%age of weight to be considered for stiffeners, supporting ring etc. =k = 50
Total Weight of the Empty Hopper, in T =W = 106
