I would like some advice on calculating the volume of a coal bin
Thread Content
What is the volume calculation formula for coal silos commonly used in coal gasification? Since it is a non-standard device that is not a regular cylinder or cone, what is the formula, and what specific parameters are required? I’d like to ask the experts here! ~
What needs to be calculated? Add coal to it; the amount of coal can be measured. Determine how much coal is needed to fill it up – that’s its volume
1. Determination of effective volume: It corresponds to the amount of coal required for 8–10 hours at 100% load, taking into account the time needed for coal transportation as well as buffer time for maintenance purposes. 2. The effective volume is generally 90% of the actual designed volume; in other words, the coal storage area should not be filled to capacity when storing the maximum amount of coal, and the actual volume required can be calculated accordingly. 3. The inclination angle of the general vertebral body portion is designed to be 60~65 degrees. 4. The design dimensions of the lower conical opening are related to the amount of coal fed under full load; a steady-state low flow rate of around 0.03~0.05 m/s is maintained (we chose 0.03 m/s). 5. The rest is a mathematical issue. . . . .
