Subtopic: Material Handling Equipment

Question Statement:

A screw conveyor (auger) volumetric conveying capacity $Q$ (in $\text{m}^3/\text{h}$) is calculated as:

Options:

  • (A) $Q = 60 \frac{\pi}{4} (D^2 - d^2) P N \phi$
  • (B) $Q = \pi D^2 P N$
  • (C) $Q = \frac{D}{P} N \phi$
  • (D) $Q = 60 \pi D P N$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Capacity is cross-sectional ribbon area $\frac{\pi}{4}(D^2 - d^2)$ multiplied by pitch $P$, rotational speed $N$ (rpm), and trough fullness loading factor $\phi$ ($15-45\%$).
