DESIGN CLARIFICATION 1)Cyclone weight distribution already considered for trapezoid but it should be considered for curved surface

of frustum Eg: (4300+1363)/2 *3635 (perpendicular height ) ------------------------------------------------------= 2394 mm 4300 Here the formula considered is (D+d)/2*H(trapezoid) = D*Himg(Imaginary cylinder) but the actual formula is * (D+d)/2* L (aligned length) = *D*Himg(Imaginary cylinder) * (4300+1363)/2 * 3895 (Aligned height ) ------------------------------------------------------* 4300 = 2565 mm
