Consider the following statements about mass flow and funnel flow.
1. Mass flow requires a steeper and smoother hopper wall.
2. Funnel flow can leave material standing for months.
3. Funnel flow gives better first in first out behaviour.

  • A.1 only
  • B.All of them
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct. The third is the wrong way round: funnel flow is last in first out for the core, which is exactly why time-sensitive materials are stored in mass flow silos. Wall friction and hopper angle together decide which regime you get.
