    Hopper Design Worked Example

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses hopper design and flow factor charts published by Jenike in 1964 for different angles of internal friction. It provides an example of using these charts to design a conical hopper, determining the maximum hopper angle, minimum outlet diameter, and powder flow properties based on the yield stress and bulk density of the material. Design calculations are shown to select a 27.5 degree hopper angle and minimum 160mm outlet diameter that allow mass flow.

    Hopper Design in Practice

    • Flow factor charts published by Jenike in 1964


    • Available for wedge and conical hoppers at effective
    angle of internal friction, δ = 30°, 40°, 50°, 60° and 70°
    • e.g. for δ = 30°

    region to left of this line is mass flow


    Jenike Flow Factor for δ = 30° (from Rhodes)
    Jenike Flow Factor for δ = 40° (from Rhodes)
    Jenike Flow Factor for δ = 50° (from Rhodes)
    Jenike Flow Factor for δ = 60° (from Rhodes)
    Hopper Design Worked Example from Rhodes
    Yield Loci
    Consolidating and Unconfined Yield Stress
    Circles Drawn Tangential to Yield Loci
    σc 1.3 1.6 2.0 2.4
    σy 0.78 0.85 0.91 0.97 δ=30°

    • Bulk density under flow conditions = 1300kgm3


    • Determine maximum hopper angle and minimum outlet diameter for conical hopp

    Powder Flow Function
    σc 1.3 1.6 2.0 2.4
    σy 0.78 0.85 0.91 0.97
    Hopper Design Worked Example from Rhodes
    Kinematic Angle of Friction between Powder and Steel Wall

    φW=19°

    So, δ=30° and φW=19°


    Hopper Design Worked Example from Rhodes
    Determine Hopper Flow Function (ff) and Hopper Angle (θ)
    • Use Jenike Chart for δ=30°
    • Read across to Mass Flow Limit at φW=19°

    • Determine max hopper angle = 30.5°


    • 3° safety margin gives hopper angle, θ = 27.5° and ff=1.8

    Hopper Design Worked Example from Rhodes
    Determine Minimum Hopper Outlet Diameter
    • Hopper Angle θ = 27.5° and critical stress σcrit = 0.83kNm-2

    𝜃
    • 𝐻 𝜃 = 2.0 + = 2.46
    60

    𝐻 𝜃 𝜎
    • 𝐵𝑚𝑖𝑛 = crit = 2.46×0.83
    = 0.16𝑚
    𝜌𝑏 𝑔 1300×9.81
