✦ Synopsis


The profile shape of the plane "best" hopper has previously been derived [2]. Here the profile shape of the "best" axisymmetric hopper is derived and it indicates limitations to practical hoppers which approximate to the plane configuration.

It is shown how a "best" hopper can be smoothly joined with a bin (i.e. vertical-walled) section to achieve a bin-hopper design that will always discharge under gravity.
