Abstract

The mathematical models for the gravity flow times of the noncohesive granular materials (with seeds application) are theoretically grounded and developed in this paper. There are proposed concrete models which emphasize the main parameters influencing the flow, as: the bin geometry and the physical characteristics of the granular material. There is done a numerical application which allows us the follow the needed calculus steps, suggesting us the procedure for the elaboration of an calculus software.
