What can cause bulk solids to stop flowing from a bin?
Answer / ishan
Causes of such problems can fall into one of two categories: Material strength or Bin Geometry. In some cases, the combination of gravitational and frictional forces at some point in the container causes the solids to arch or bridge. So nearly all large bins contain an "arch-breaker" ( an upward pointing shallow metal cone set near the bottom) and can be stopped also because of rat flow (or) erratic material flow.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.9 : In the modelling of the total of n rolls of a dice by an engineering student, let D be the random outcome of rolling a dice once. (a) Find the probability of outcome of D = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. (b) Find the average score of each rolling of a dice D. (c) Find the expected value, Sn of n rolls of a dice in term of n and D. A new dice has a value of D* = D - 3.5. (d) Find the values of D* for each volume of D = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. (e) Find the equivalent model of Sn in term of n and D. (f) Find the expected value of D*.

Question 63 – Autocad computer program is used to draw a pipe that is used to transport natural gases for processing. Actual length of the pipe is 10 metres. The pipe has cross sectional area of circle in shape with measured circumference of s = 3 metres. (a) If 10 units are used to represent the actual length of the pipe in computerised engineering drawing, find the diameter of the pipe, d that will be shown in the engineering drawing. (b) If one unit in the program equals to 1 centimetre, find the scale used in the computer program.
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.13 : (i) In the Present Value Multiplication Rule, let PV = present value, Ra = interest rate for first discount, A = duration for first discount; Rc = interest rate for second discount, C = duration for second discount. Let PV = [ 1 / (1 + Ra) ^ A ] [ 1 / (1 + Rc) ^ C ] where ^ is the symbol of power : 3 ^ 2 = 3 x 3, 2 ^ 3 = 2 x 2 x 2. (a) For discounts involving 8 % / year for 3 years and 10 % / year for 9 years, find the value of PV. (b) If Re = interest rate for third discount, E = duration of third discount, form a mathematical equation of PV as a function of A, C, E, Ra, Rc, Re. Note : Discounts are available in the purchase of certain biochemical engineering instruments. (ii) Let R = nominal interest rate related to growth rate of money, r = real interest rate related to growth rate of purchase power. If I = inflation, where the unit of R, r and I is %, find the mathematical relatonship of r as a function of R and I.

The water is superheated steam at 440 degree Celsius and 17.32 megapascals. Estimate the enthalpy of the steam above. From the steam table for water at 440 degree Celsius, enthalpy of steam, h at 18 megapascals is 3103.7 kilojoules per kilogram and at 16 megapascal is 3062.8 kilojoules per kilogram. Assume that h = mP c where P is pressure; m and c are constants at fixed temperature with small differences in P.
