MATLAB-based transfer chute design

Acting as a connection unit in material handling link,transfer chute performs the guiding and splitting functions in material conveyance. For ensuring the selection of more precise geometric diameters of the transfer chute and non-obstructive material flow,a kinematic analysis is made of the material flow in chute and based on result of the analysis,the material flow model is developed. Following that regression modeling of transfer chute is made based on the result of test obtained using regression orthogonal design method and MATLAB scripts.
