Conical Outlet Design for Bulk Materials

This document provides specifications for designing a hopper with a conical outlet to store limestone particles 0-10mm in size and a bulk density of 1000kg/m3. It estimates key design parameters like the internal friction angle during filling and emptying, hopper slope angle, and recommended outlet dimensions based on the material properties and flow characteristics. The outlet is estimated to have a diameter of 291.0944mm based on the angle of internal friction, coefficient of friction, and angle of repose of the limestone particles.
