Bunker Sizing Calculations-Case-4

This document calculates the sizing of coal bunkers that feed four operating mills. It provides inputs such as a storage capacity of 9.88 hours, coal consumption of 100% performance coal at 500 tons per hour, and six total bunkers with four operating. The calculations determine the volume, height, and elevation needed for the bunkers based on coal density, bunker dimensions, and mill operation to provide a total bunker capacity of 2000 tons.

9 Valley angle of the bunker cone considered θ 60.00 Deg
10 Angle of repose of coal α 37.00 Deg
11 Distance between opening slot to CL of bunker a 1.25 m
12 Height of Adaptor at Bunker bottom H5 0.50 m
13 As per BHEL drawing Bottom of bunker level (i.e., terminal point) h 25.50 m Bunker Diameter,D=8m H3 = 9.013 m
14 Thickness of tippler floor slab t2 0.20 m
15 Height of beam above bunker t1 1.00 m V5
16 Cleance between top of bunker and beam t3 0.50 m
B OUTPUTS
1 Coal Consumption per hour C 202.40 TPH
2a Volumetric capacity of each operating bunker considered 625.00 m3
2b -do- 500.00 T
3 Total volumetric capacity of all 6 bunkers 2500.00 m3
4 Total tonnage capacity of all 6 bunkers 2000.00 T
5 Inner Radius of the bunker considered R 4.00 m V6
6 Height H4 6.19 m H4 = 6.19 m
7 Length of slot across the bunker LS 7.60 m
8 Height H1+H2 2.07 m
9 Height H1 0.94 m
10 Height H2 1.13 m H5 = 0.5 m
11 Volume V1=V2 8.95 m3 Bottom of Bunker El (+)25.5 M
12 Volume V3 38.16 m3
13 Volume (addition of V1+V2+V3) =V4 V4 56.06 m3 d = 0.85 m
14 Volume of conical portion V6 115.90 m3
15 Required volume for cylindircal portion V5 453.04 m3
16 Hence, required height of the Cylindrical portion of the Bunker H3 9.01 m CASE-4
