Abstract

The relationship between the granular flow rate Q on a two-dimensional conveyor belt and the opening-angle θ at choke point together with the velocity of the conveyor belt and the exit-size has been studied in the experiment. The result shows that the granular flow rate Q is influenced chiefly by the following factors: the exit width R, the speed of the conveyor belt and the opening-angle θ at choke point. The rate of flow Q increases linearly with the speed v and the exit width R, and the rate of flow Q decreases linearly with cosθ when the opening-angle θ is larger than 15° for the dilute granular flow.
