Many thanks elleburra and the usual suspects.
Having trouble keeping up with all of your research. Hats off.
I too, was a kid who asked 'too many' questions' but it did enhance my understanding.
What I immediately recalled this afternoon was the formula for the area of a circle:
A=πr2
Sorry about copy & paste
Area = pye x radius squared.
pye = 3.142
1m wide MABR , radius = 50cm
3.142 x 50 cm x 50 cm =
3.142 x 2500 square centimetres
Let's allow pie in each calculation to cancel the other
So to increase the area of a 1m wide MABR by 100% we need to calculate the radius.
Double 2500 ( as in doubling capacity) = 5000
The radius is now the square root of 5000 square centimetres = 70.71 cm
Diameter = 2 x radius 141.42 cm
So to double capacity would only require a 1.42m wide MABR
By the same metrics, increasing the diameter to 2m (radius now 1m) would increase the capacity to four times that of a 1m MABR.
So forgive me if I'm not up to speed, my question is in your opinions, is the plan to produce double capacity or greater?
Or is the plan to have a suite of different MABR units?
I do understand the potential problems with the second option regarding logistics and re-tooling.
Or am I missing the point?
