โฆ Synopsis
A mathematical model is presented for the solids velocity distribution in mass flow hoppers; it is based on classical plasticity theory. The analytical solutions are in good agreement with the results of experiments performed with sand and organic prills in model hoppers of 0.11 and 0.60 m diameter.

A simple experimental technique was developed for the measurement of velocity profiles of slow flowing, coarse granular materials in mass-flow conical hoppers. The measured profiles were shown to be unaffected by the presence of material surcharge above the cone, independent of material discharge ra
Nedderman's method is used and developed to measure particle velocity inside a conical hopper by placing a mass of host particles, which dyed a different color, into an initially static bed. The velocities of glass beads and sand particles of different sizes were measured in a steel hopper and a Per
