What is flow number?

Derive the mathematical form of NQ with all its

consideration.
Define size reduction. A certain set of crushing rolls of 1000 mm diameter by
375 mm width of face. They are set so that the crushing surfaces are 12 mm
apart at the narrowest point. The angle of nip is 30o. What is the maximum
permissible size of feed?
Catalyst pellets 5mm diameter are to be fluidized with 45000 kg/hr of air
at 1 atm. and 800C in a vertical cylindrical vessel. The density of the
catalyst particle is 960 kg/m3 and their spherecity is 0.86. If the given
quantity of air is just sufficient to fluidize the solids, what is the vessel
diameter? Assume _M = 0.45. Take air properties: density = 1kg/m3,
viscosity = 0.02cP.

agitation of liquids along with application.
What is power number and its significance?
What is swirling and what is its effect on liquid mixing. What are the
various ways of prevention of swirling?
motionless mixer
A Blake jaw crusher is used for crushing limestone such that the average size
of the particles is reduced from 50mm to 10 mm with energy consumption of
50 W-hr/metric ton. Calculate the energy consumption for crushing the same
material from average size of 75mm to 20mm. Use Rittingers law, Kicks law
and Bond law.
Explain principles of froth floatation with the detail description of a froth floatation
equipment.
A set of crushing roll used to crush rock has rolls of 150 cm diameter by 50
cm width of face and rolling at 100 rpm. They are set so that the crushing
surfaces are 1.25 cm apart at the narrowest point. The angle of nip is 300.3w
What is the maximum permissible size of the feed? Also calculate the
theoretical capacity of the crusher. Sp. Gr of rock = 2.4.
A ball mill of diameter 2000 mm uses steel balls of 100 mm diameter for
grinding rock. The ball mill operates at 15 rpm. At what speed will the mill
have to be run if the 100 mm balls are replaced by 50 mm balls, all the other
conditions remaining the same?
Discuss the different criterias for selection of conveyers.
Explain differential and cumulative method of particle size analysis

With the help of a neat sketch explain the construction and working of a
roller crusher and write the important equations for roll crusher.
A silty soil containing 14% moisture was mixed in a large Muller mixer
with 10.0 weight percent of a tracer consisting of dextrose and picric acid.
After 3 minutes of mixing, 12 random samples were taken from the mix and
analyzed calorimetrically for tracer materials. The measured concentrations
in the samples were, in weight percent tracer, 10.24, 9.30, 7.94,10.24, 11.08,
10.03, 11.91, 9.72, 9.20, 10.76, 10.97 and 10.55. Calculate the mixing index.
Define Power number and Reynolds number and their relation in liquid
mixing.
Write statement and equation of Kicks law. A set of crushing rolls of 1400 mm diameter
by 400 mm width of face. Minimum spacing between two rolls is 10 mm and the angle of
nip is 30. What is the maximum permissible size of feed?
A certain set of crushing rolls of 150 cm in diameter by 50 cm width face. They
are set so that the crushing surfaces are 1.25 cm apart at the narrowest point. The
manufacture recommends 100 rpm as the roll speed. They are to crush a rock
having a specific gravity of 2.35 and angle of nip is 30 0.
(a) What are the maximum permissible size of feed and the maximum actual
capacity in metric tons per hour if the actual capacity is 12 % of the theoretical?
(b) After long use, the tires on the rolls of the mill have become roughened so
that the angle of nip is 320.30. What will now be the maximum permissible size
of feed and the capacity of the rolls?
