    This document provides information about calculating the capacity of a cylindrical silo with a converging wall hopper. It includes inputs for the silo diameter, outlet diameter, strake height, hopper height, and bulk density. The results section calculates the total volume of the silo, capacity volume allowing 15% less for dearation and overrun, volume of product in repose, volume of product in the vertical strake to the base of repose, volume of the hopper, and total potential product mass.
