(b)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.

(b)A sludge is filtered in a washing plate and frame filter press at a constant pressure of 2
kg/cm2. A 15cm cake is formed in 1 hour with filtrate volume of 8 m3. At the end of filtration
3 m3 of washing liquor is passed. All other operation takes approximately 10 minutes.
Neglect resistance of cloth and flow lines. Determine:(i) the washing time, (ii) amount of
filtrate produced in a day if working hrs are 15/day.
