Volume of each coal bunker is considered as 500 TPH
(Coal consumption 100% performance coal with 10 % margin) t2 = 0.2 m
3 No of bunkers 6.00 Nos t1 = 1 m
4 No. of operating bunkers/mills considered n 4.00 Nos t3 = 0.5 m
5 Coal Density in piled condition ρ 800.00 kg/m3 V1 V2 H1 = 0.942 m
6 Bunker Filling Co-efficient f 0.87
7 Inner Dia of bunker considered D 8.00 m α V3 H2 = 1.13 m
8 Bunker opening diameter at bottom considered d 0.914 m
9 Valley angle of the bunker cone considered θ 58.00 Deg
10 Angle of repose of coal α 37.00 Deg
11 Distance between opening slot to CL of bunker a 1.25 m
12 Height of Adaptor at Bunker bottom H5 0.00 m
13 As per BHEL drawing Bottom of bunker level (i.e., terminal point) h 26.50 m Bunker Diameter,D=8m H3 = 11.046 m
14 Thickness of tippler floor slab t2 0.20 m
15 Height of beam above bunker t1 1.00 m V5
16 Cleance between top of bunker and beam t3 0.50 m

1 Coal Consumption per hour C 202.40 TPH
2a Volumetric capacity of each operating bunker considered including filling factor 718.39 m3
2b Capacity of each bunker considered 500.00 T
3 Total volumetric capacity of all 4 bunkers 2873.56 m3
4 Total tonnage capacity of all 4 bunkers 2298.85 T
5 Inner Radius of the bunker considered R 4.00 m V6
6 Height H4 5.67 m H4 = 5.67 m
7 Length of slot across the bunker LS 7.60 m
8 Height H1+H2 2.07 m
9 Height H1 0.94 m
10 Height H2 1.13 m
11 Volume V1=V2 8.95 m3 Bottom of Bunker El (+)26.5 M
12 Volume V3 38.16 m3
13 Volume (addition of V1+V2+V3) =V4 V4 56.06 m3 d = 0.914 m
14 Volume of conical portion V6 107.10 m3
15 Required volume for cylindircal portion V5 555.24 m3
16 Hence, required height of the Cylindrical portion of the Bunker H3 11.05 m
17 Hence total height of the bunker H6 18.79 m
18 Hence, elevation of top of the bunker H 45.29 m
19 Elevation of tripper floor 46.99 m
20 Selected Elevation of tripper floor 47.00 m
