Experimental Measurement on Pebble Flow Discharge in a Hopper Silo Based on a Drainage Method

The dropping of absorption sphere from the storage vessel under accident conditions and the transportation of spent fuel elements in the reactor will both lead to the pebble flow discharging process driven by gravity in a hopper silo. Therefore, the research on the gravity-driven discharging rate of...
