Product Throughput of a bin
This is more of a calculation/FBD question , We have a Silo that holds solid product in it , it can discharge to 2 other bins and also has a recirculating line. How would i work out the total amount of product that has gone into the bin over say a 24hr period. It will discharge,recirc and have feed going into it all at the same time. I have tried to make a rate of change / prediction totaliser but i am having troubles getting it too work. I know its probably a difficult question so i am not expecting any magic solutions but suggestions are very welcome.

I understand you have a silo with 1x input, 2x output and recirulating? Do you have measurement on all of these lines?

Trying to use a calculation on multiple measurements ( which at this time, you say you dont have anyway ) is not going to work - or is going to be so inaccurate its not going to be worth using.
Dont try to calculate thruput on this system. Put a sensor in the right place and MEASURE it.

I agree with Rob, without proper measurement you can only make a guess. You may add the total of output (assuming the same input in this period of time) with the theoretic flow of your recirculating line.
