Assignment 3 PT FA19 CHE 083

1. The student was asked to calculate the theoretical power requirements for a Blake standard jaw crusher processing quartz. 2. Screen analysis was provided for the feed and product. Using Kick's law, the student calculated the average diameter for the feed as 668.02mm and the product as 190.135mm. 3. The student then used these average diameters along with specifications for the crusher like RPM, feed rate, and open/closed side settings to calculate the theoretical power requirement according to Kick's law. The calculated power requirements range from 243.288kw to 245.334kw.

PARTICULATE TECHNOLOGY
SUBMITED TO: DR FARUKH JAMIL
QUESTION 1:
A batch crusher is run at constant power input. It was found that 30 minutes of operation
were necessary to reduce the average particle size from 100 mm to 10 mm. how long would
it take to reduce the particle size to 5 mm? Examine the discrepancies that are associated
with the application of the different mathematical to predict power or, alternatively, the
time required to achieve certain fineness.

BY BONDS LAW:

w=k ( − )
√ D pp √ D pf

P×t=k ( − )
√ D pp √ D pf

Here t=30 Dpp=10 Dpf=100 t=? When Dpp=5 and Dpf=100

p ×30=k ¿) ------------------------- equation 1

p ×t=k ( − ) -----------------------------equation 2
√5 √ 100

Divide both equations

t = 48.17 min

BY RITTINGERS LAW:

1 1
p ×t= k( − )
D sb D sa
Here t=30 Dsb=10 Dsa=100 t=? When Dsb=5 and Dsa=100

p ×t= k (1/10-1/100) --------------------- equation 1


p ×t= k (1/5-1/100) ------------------------equation 2

Divide both equations


p ×30/ p ×t=k (0.09)/k (0.19)
t = 63.33 min

BY KICKS LAW:
W= k ln (Dsa/Dsb)
p ×t = k ln (Dsa/Dsb)

Here t=30 Dsb=10 Dsa=100 t=? When Dsb=5 and Dsa=100

p ×30 = k ln (100/10) ------------------------equation 1


p ×t = k ln (100/5) ----------------------------equation 2

Divide both equations


p ×30/ p ×t=k ln (10)/k ln (20)
t = 39.03 min
QUESTION 2:
Quartz from the mine is sent over a grissly with 8-inch spacing and then to a Blake
standard jaw crusher with a 40 inch. By.42 inch feed opening and a 6- inch discharge
setting. The crusher operates at 190 rpm and handles 130 tons/hr. of feed. Screen analysis
of the feed and product are given below. What are the theoretical power requirements?

SOLUTION:
Dpb =6inch =152.4mm
Dpa =42inch = 1066.8mm
Dpa= 40inch =1016mm
m =130tons/hr
es =190rpm
