Hopper Design Principles
The flow factor is a function of the powder's effective angle of internal friction, the hopper angle, and the wall friction angle. Charts that provide flow factors for conical and wedge-shaped hoppers are given in Jenike [1]; Examples are shown in Figures 9a and 9b. Typical values of the flow factor range between 1.1 and 1.7.
