# Industrial Specification: Collection Chute/Hopper

## 1. Technical Definition
A funnel-shaped component designed to collect and direct waste materials into the waste removal system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-150 kPa pressure differential, 0-80°C material temperature, 0-2.5 m/s material flow velocity**. Failure boundary: **Material buildup exceeding 40% cross-sectional area, wall thickness reduction below 3 mm, impact force exceeding 500 J**, Mechanism: **Adhesive wear from abrasive materials (Mohs hardness &gt;5), stress corrosion cracking in chloride environments (&gt;50 ppm), fatigue failure from cyclic loading (&gt;10^6 cycles at 50 MPa stress)**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Material bridging due to cohesive forces exceeding 1.5 kPa | 8 | Complete flow blockage with zero throughput | Install pneumatic vibrators with 100 Hz frequency and 2 mm amplitude, apply PTFE coating with 0.04 friction coefficient |
| Erosive wear from silica particles (&gt;200 μm) at 2 m/s velocity | 8 | Wall perforation leading to material leakage | Install 6 mm thick AR400 steel wear plates (Brinell hardness 400), implement 45° impact angle design |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
