Prediction of Dust Emissions from Belt Conveyor Transfer Chutes

This paper presents work undertaken to model dust emissions from belt conveyor transfer chutes. Several transfer chute configurations were investigated during the course of the project with the aim of analysing the performance of each using scale model laboratory testing. The experimental work invol…read more

Optimal Design of Continuous Conveyors

This paper presents a procedure for the optimum design of continuous conveyors for bulk solids handling. The problem concerns the establishment of cost or objective functions which integrate the performance characteristics with the various cost factors involved. Using the general principles of engin…read more

Flow of Bulk Solids Through Transfer Chutes of Variable Geometry and Profile

The conditions for accelerated or 'fast' flow of bulk solids through transfer chutes of variable geometry and profile are discussed. A simplified chute design theory based on a lumped parameter dynamic model is presented. This model may be applied to chutes of arbitrary geometric profile but the emp…read more

Load Stability of Bulk Cargoes during Ship Transport

The safe ocean transport of bulk cargoes on large bulk ships is vitally dependent on the stability of the cargo under the influence of the rolling, pitching and yawing motion of the ship and the transmission of vibration from the ship’s engine and propulsion machinery as well as wave motion induce…read more

Wall Pressure-Feeder Load Interactions in Mass Flow Hopper/Feeder Combinations - Part I

The interactive roles of mass flow bins and feeders are discussed. The effect of feeder speed, gate height clearance between the hopper outlet and the feeder surface, method of filling, rate of filling on wal pressures in mass flow bins and feeder load and power requirements of the feeders are highl…read more
