Mechanical Operations
The capacity of a classifier in 'tons of solid/hr' is given by (where, A = cross-sectional area, m² V = rising velocity of fluid, m/sec.S = percentage of solids in the suspension by volume.ρ = density of solids, kg/m³)
Calls for relatively less energy for the smaller product particles, than does the Rittinger law
Is less realistic in estimating the power requirements of commercial crushers
States that the work required to form particle of any size from very large feed is proportional to the square root of the volume to surface ratio of the product
States that the work required for the crushing is proportional to the new surface created
