Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Silo Internal Diameter = 4
- Eccentric Discharge Offset Distance from Center = 0.5
- Jenike Effective Angle of Internal Friction (radians) = 0.349066
Expected Result:
- Critical Dome Height = 5.6659624230925
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Critical Dome Height = 5.6659624230925 m.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
