Question: ( 2 5 points ) Powdered milk is an important worldwide commodity. It is desired to build a hopper for storage of non - fat

(25points)Powdered milk is an important worldwide commodity. It is desired to build a hopper for storage of non-fat powdered milk. The powdered milk has a flow function of fc=0.181+142[all in Pa].The effective angle of internal friction, , is 50.The angle of wall friction of the bulk solids against stainless steel is 28.Use the attached chart to assist in your calculations. Because powdered milk can degrade with time, it is desired to use a mass flow hopper. The hopper geometry is conical. The bulk density is given by the equation =320(1+41910)0.197where is in kgm3and is in Pa . a3safety factor diameter =12ft=3.65m.
