To calculate the Auger Length (AL):
\[ AL = (E + \frac{1}{2}D) \times 1.4 \]
Where:
Auger length refers to the length of the auger needed to transport materials, such as grain, from one location to another, typically from a bin to a truck or another storage facility. The length is calculated based on the height of the bin and its diameter to ensure efficient and effective material handling.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ AL = (20 + \frac{1}{2} \times 10) \times 1.4 = 35 \text{ ft} \]
The Auger Length is 35 ft.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ AL = (15 + \frac{1}{2} \times 8) \times 1.4 = 26.6 \text{ ft} \]
The Auger Length is 26.6 ft.
