Ring Size Effect on the Reduction of Pulsating Wall Pressure Near the Transition in a Bin

Abstract

This paper outlines an approach to reduce the pulsating wall pressure near the transition point in a bin which is generated during discharge of a dense bed achieved by peripheral feeding. The author presents a method of controlling the flow of the dense bed by means of a ring installed in the wall near the bin transition point, thus changing the flow from a dense bed to a coarse bed.
