Is anyone familiar with the "Anderson" equation for calculating induced air flow rate by granular material? I am trying to find the correct form of the equation. I have 4 sources which show the equation in 4 different forms. The one form I am leaning towards is the one found in the Dust Control Handbook by Vinit Mody and Raj Jakhete. The equation is as follows;

Qe = 10 x Au * ((RxS^2)/D)^(1/2)

Thank You
