Subject: Auger length vs bin height


Wondering how steep I can position an 8x61 auger. My bin is 15' x 7 rings plus the roof. (MFS bin). my question, if i want to put another ring or two on the bin, How tall of a bin can i go and still keep decent efficiency and power ratio on the auger? How big of a fan would i need to push a good amount of air through the corn? We use this bin to hold corn out of the field and grind out of for the cows. corn moisture will be no more than 20% and there is no dryer on it. (if t is at 20%, we fill only a third of the bin and let dry down to keep the drying zone from stopping)
Thanks
