Belt conveyor capacity
public
Theoretical volumetric flow rate of a belt conveyor with 3 roll idlers, based on bulk material properties.
Volumetric flow rate
$$ Q_{conv_{v_{th_{3}}}} = {A_{conv_{3}} \cdot v_{conv} \cdot 3600} \:, m^3 / h $$

Bulk material density
$$ \rho_{bm} = 0.8 \: t / m^3 $$
Mass flow rate
$$ Q_{conv_{m_{th_{3}}}} = {A_{conv_{3}} \cdot v_{conv} \cdot 3600 \cdot \rho_{bm}} \:, t / h $$
Belt conveyor cross sectional area
public
Cross sectional area of belt conveyor for idlers with 3 rollers.
Base width
$$ l_{base} = 0.424 \: m $$
Cross sectional area
$$ A_{conv_{3}} = {\left({ l_{base} + {( b_{belt} - l_{base} ) \over 2} \cdot \cos( \lambda_{idler_{rad}} ) }\right) \cdot {( b_{belt} - l_{base} ) \over 2} \cdot \sin( \lambda_{idler_{rad}} ) + \left({ {( l_{base} + \left({ b_{belt} - l_{base} }\right) \cdot \cos( \lambda_{idler_{rad}} ) ) \over 2 }}\right) ^ 2 \cdot \tan( \beta_{surcharge_{rad}} )} \:, m^2 $$
