Such hoppers are immensely helpful in the food, biopharmaceutical and agriculture industries. The DEM is a complex method that resolves the problem of storage and flow of granular material in a hopper. It is a time taking procedure as the granular particles search for the contact between each other. Initially, when the particles are filled in the hopper, the velocity is greater; however, at the time of discharging material out of the hopper the velocity of flow of granular material at the orifice end is smaller. The total particles are discharged within 0.17 second, having different diameters and velocities.","PeriodicalId":217255,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biological Innovations","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132239497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results found that students had a moderate to a high level of knowledge about the Covid -19 and sufficient knowledge regarding its preventive measures. The authors could not found any significant correlation between attitude and the socio-demographic variable (sex, age, qualification, and level of education) at (p < 0.05). The majority of the respondents admitted that they always wore a face mask and adopted the practice of going to crowded places and washing their hands with soap or sanitizer before and after touching of objects and suspicious people. In conclusion, authors found that more than two-third of university students have adequate knowledge of the Covid-19.
