Chute Diameter Calculation

NOTE:
The minimum free area of a chute should be calculated on the
basis of a velocity of 1 m/sec, and the chute being 25% full for
powdery material and 50% full for lumpy material:
FORMULA :

A=

Q*100
3600 * V *F

(m)

where:
Q = Volume flow rate (m/h)
v = Velocity (m/s)
A = Cross-sectional area (m)
F = Filling percent
