CHE 317E PRELIM Q2

1.The Kick's constant for a material is 0.02. If the feed rate to the crusher is
200 kg/hr and the energy required to crush the 50-mm material is 50kWh,
what is the average particle size of the crushed material? 14.14mm
2. A crusher was used to crush a material with a compressive strength of
22.5 MN/m2. The size of the feed was minus 50 mm, plus 40 mm and the
power required was 13.0 kW/(kg/s). The screen analysis of the product was:

What power would be

required to crush 1 kg/s of a
material of compressive
strength 45 MN/m2 from a
feed of minus 45 mm, plus
40 mm to a product of 0.50
mm aver- age size?
