any recommended book,engineering guides ?
Mass flow rate is the measurement of the amount of mass that passes through a given area per unit of time. It is typically measured in kilograms per second (kg/s) or pounds per second (lb/s).
The mass flow rate can be calculated by dividing the total mass of a substance by the time it takes for that substance to pass through a given area. This can be expressed as:
Mass flow rate = Mass / Time
Conveyor screw calculations are used to determine the power requirements, capacity, and other design parameters for screw conveyors. These calculations take into account factors such as the material being conveyed, conveyor speed, and conveyor diameter.
Yes, there are several books that can assist with conveyor screw calculations, such as "Screw Conveyors: An Introduction to Their Design, Selection and Applications" by M. E. Fayed and Thomas Skocir or "Screw Conveyors" by Michael P. Forcade. It is important to consult reputable sources and double check calculations to ensure accuracy.
There are several ways to improve mass flow rate on a conveyor system, including increasing the conveyor speed, optimizing the design of the screw conveyor, and using a more efficient motor or drive system. It is also important to regularly maintain and clean the conveyor system to prevent any obstructions or buildup that could impede mass flow rate.
