0 a sloping channel for sending down water, rubbish/garbage etc -- sjakt, fallrenne
a laundry chute.
1 a similar structure in a playground, for children to slide down. -- rutsjebane
2 a parachute -- fallskjerm
This consists of an upper supply hopper which feeds the chute through a pre-chute chamber.
In our experiments 6 was measured by a clinometer attached to the chute.
For the smooth chute in no case was anything resembling the loose entry branch predicted.
If the gate valve is then opened, the material enters the chute in a dense, slowly moving state.
Annular shear cells and inclined chute flows are the two flow geometries most suitable for comparison with theoretical predictions.
These probes were also used to measure free-surface velocities along the chute.
Velocities are high throughout the layer and, in particular, the slip velocity a t the base of the chute is large.
Angles of wall friction are quoted for both the smooth and the rough chute bases.
