Abstract:
A funnel based on bivariate normal distribution is provided, and belongs to the field of daily tools. The funnel is formed by connecting a funnel body in a shape of a bivariate normal distribution with an outlet tube. The funnel body can be formed by rotating a normal distribution curve around the axis of symmetry z with a positive direction pointing to a deep part of the funnel, towards which the fluid flows. An outlet tube is a conical structure with a wide upper part and a narrow lower part. The surface of the funnel body has arbitrary order smoothness at everywhere. The design is simple and the fluid experiences little resistance when it flows through the inner surface. Thus, the funnel can effectively prevented blockage during the transport of fluid, powder and granules and the transport efficiency is remarkably improved.
