The borders between funnel and mass flow, which result from the calculations of Jenike [7], are shown in figure 4a for the wedge shaped hopper and in figure 4b for the conical hopper. In the diagrams the wall friction angle j
x
is drawn over the hopper slope angle Q measured against the vertical. The effective angle of internal friction j
e
, which is a measure of the internal friction of the bulk solid, is the parameter of the mass flow/funnel flow borderlines. The borderlines separate all pairs of values leading to mass flow from those leading to funnel flow.
