Abstract
A vertical standpipe fed by a conical mass flow hopper and controlled by an orifice at its lower end is analyzed using appropriate one-dimensional forms of the equations of continuity and momentum balance. It is shown that the flow rate can be predicted as a function of the pressure rise and the control orifice size, and a complete map of flow regimes can be constructed. The effect of injecting aeration gas just above the control orifice is examined.
