Storage and discharge of particulate bulk solids
Abstract Particulate materials are stored in vessels which are referred to by different names depending on their geometry; Figure 8.1 shows illustrations of some of the most commonly used. Those containers with a flat bottom are commonly known as ‘bins’ or ‘bunkers’; if the vessel side walls are inclined then the term ‘hopper’ is used. Bins and hoppers can have either axially-symmetric or rectangular cross-section as illustrated in Figure 8.1. With rectangular containers, if the vessel thickness, l, is much less than the vessel half-width, a (usually l < a/2), then the container may be referred to as ‘planar’ or ‘plane’ type. The implication is that when the vessel thickness is quite small, then the geometry is essentially two-dimensional and hence can be approximated by a single plane.
