Silo Discharge Calculation

Here there is an approximate solution from Rotter's guide for the economic design of circular metal silos
M(t/s) = 0.6x gamma(kN/m3) x Gf x (B-ks.dp)^2.5/sqrt(g)
with gamma lower characteristic unit weight
Gf is 1.0 or 0.75(1-0.08.cos(beta))/sqrt(sin(beta))
depending on the value beta = hopper half angle. If beta < beta0 then Gf = 1, if beta>beta0 then the former expresion. beta0 is the internal flow channel slope beta0=90-phii, with phii the internal friction angle.
This can be a starting point ■

Dear diego.peinado
thanks for your reply
in your formula , I want to know the meaning of some parameters
such as B,ks,dp,g,internal friction angle,...
please inform me
if possible , tell me an example
best regards ■
Silo discharge calculation
I want to know how is calculation of rate (t/h or m3/h)
for silo (or hopper) discharge and its parameters.
material is a granular solid .
I know material lump size ,Flowablity of material and discharge size are important but I dont have any calculation .
