Abstract
The three-compartment silo with a fan-shaped cross-section has caused problems in accurately calculating the depth of the silo based on the traditional height-to-diameter ratio. This paper designed a three-compartment acrylic silo model with a height of 2000 mm and a diameter of 1000 mm, and completed six different storage height feeding-settling-discharging experiments. Combining the deep and shallow silo theories in Chinese standards, this paper analyzed the distribution patterns and influencing factors of static and dynamic horizontal pressure.The criteria for classifying three-compartment silos into deep and shallow silos are provided. When the height of the silo is greater than or equal to its diameter, a three-compartment silo with a sector-shaped cross-section should be considered a deep silo design. When the height of the silo is less than its diameter, it should be considered a shallow silo design.Static horizontal pressure increases with increasing storage height, and the static pressure value of cement is higher than that of ceramic beads. The deviation between the test values and the standard deep silo calculation values is within 30 %, verifying the safety of the standard. Dynamic horizontal pressure reaches its peak at the beginning of discharge, and the overpressure coefficient of ceramic beads is significantly higher than that of cement.The study revised the horizontal pressure calculation formula based on experimental data and the classification criteria for deep and shallow warehouses, introduced correction factors of 1.1 and 1.45, and proposed a revised formula.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
