Part 2: Date seeds size reduction unit operation
At lab scale, a certain crusher takes date kernels whose average particles diameter is 20mm and crushes it to a product whose average particle diameter is 10mm, at a rate of 100kg? hour. At this rate, the mill takes 0.12kW of power.
Tasks: What would be the power consumption for same capacity if the average particle diameter in the product is 75m?(use first run data to estimate the coefficients KK,KR, and KB)
Compute the energy consumed by Kick's Law, and Bond's Equation.
Which law(s) is most consistent with data of figure 29.16?
FIGURE 29.16
Energy consumption vs. product size in size-reduction equipment. (By permisslon, fram Commintion and Energy Consumption, NMAB-261, Natlonal Acadany Preis, 1981.)
Size reduction: Power consumption (in kWh? ton)
pm=KR(1DVP-1DVF), Rittenger's Law
pm=KKln(DVFDVp), Kick's LaW
pm=KB(1DPP2-1DPF2), Bond's Law
