N2 - The mass flow rate, m, associated with the outflow of dry, cohesionless granular material through orifices located in vertical walls of silos was analyzed experimentally in order to reveal the dependence of this quantity on D and w, i.e., the diameter of the orifice and the wall’s thickness, respectively. A series of experiments enable us to give a general correlation, which has the form m = m0 wA; where A is a constant and _m0 is the mass flow rate to the minimum allowable wall thickness.
