Aerodynamic properties of particles in the gravitational flow of a chuted bulk material

Abstract

Chutes are a linking element of transportation lines used for transfers of reprocessed materials from one transporting group or equipment to another. The mode of the chuted material motion and the nature of the associated aerodynamic processes are determined by the aggregate physical and mechanical properties of the material being transferred and structural design of chutes. Structurally chutes are subdivided into prismatic, cylindrical and pyramid-shaped (bin) chutes by shape and into vertical, tip and kinked chutes by the bottom slope angle. The most common in practice are tip chutes of a prismatic or a pyramid shape. The purpose of this work was the study of particle movement of granular materials in the sloping chute. In the result of the research, we revealed the following
