DESIGN ANALYSIS A. Determination of the capacity of the Hopper The hopper is a truncated square pyramid which serves as the input unit‚ so it was designed to provide smooth supply of moringa leaves into the pulverizing chamber. Considering AMB‚ EMAM=h260+h 30160=h260+h h=60mm therefore the total height H=60+260=320mm. Volume of hopper=volume of large pyramid – volume of small pyramid Volume of pyramid=1/3[a2H- b2h] Where a=320mm‚ b=60mm Volume = 1/3[(3202x320)- (602)(60)] = 10850667mm3
