What significance the angle of repose holds in the chemical industry, Explain?
The angle of repose is a property of particulate solids.
A conical pile is formed when a bulk solid is poured onto a flat surface.
The angle formed between the flat surface and the pile edge is called the angle of repose.
The angle of repose depends on the following factors :
Density of the material.
Surface area.
Coefficient of friction of the material.
A material having a low angle of repose would always create float piles as compared to materials with a high angle of repose.
This is used in the designing of equipments which are used for particulate solids.
In addition to that this angle can be used to calculate the size of the conveyor belt that is used to transfer the materials.
