1) Buktikan bahwa kecepatan kritis putaran Ball Mill itu sama dengan

𝑔𝑎𝑦𝑎 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑠𝑖
n = 0,225 √
diameter silinder

Jawaban :

Centrifugal force outward

Fc = mp𝜔2Dm
2 (8.1)
𝜔 is the angular velocity, mp is the mass of any particle (media or charge) in the mill and Dm is the diameter of
the mill inside the liners.

Gravitational force
Fg = mpg (8.2)

The particle will remain against the wall if these two forces are in balance ie.
Fc = Fgcos𝜃 (8.3)

where 𝜃 is shown in Figure 8.2

Thus a particle will separate from the wall at the point where
cos𝜃 = Fc
Fg (8.4)

The critical speed of the mill, 𝜔c, is defined as the speed at which a single ball will just remain against the wall
for a full cycle. At the top of the cycle 𝜃=0 and
cos(0) = Fc
Fg
1 = Fc
Fg
Fc = Fg (8.5)
