Which change would NOT reduce the risk of bridging in a hopper?

  • A.Enlarging the outlet
  • B.Steepening the walls
  • C.Polishing the wall surface
  • D.Reducing the outlet size

Answer: D

Correct answer: Reducing the outlet size

Reducing the outlet makes bridging more likely, not less, since the critical arching dimension is exactly what the outlet must exceed. The other three all help: enlarging the outlet directly, steepening the walls to promote mass flow, and polishing them to reduce wall friction so material slides rather than keying against the surface.
