Result Interpretation

Silo Critical Discharge Dome Height Validator calculator computes Minimum Dome Height in m using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. Minimum Dome Height is expressed in m. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Bulk Density = 800
  • Silo Diameter = 4
  • Effective Cohesion = 1200
  • Hopper Angle = 0.523599
  • Gravitational Acceleration = 9.81

Expected Result:

  • Minimum Dome Height = 22.655212822308

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Minimum Dome Height = 22.655212822308 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.

Formula / Method

minimum dome height = (bulk density * gravitational acceleration * pow(silo diameter, 2)) / (8 * effective cohesion * tan(hopper angle))
