Answer:
1) The power needed to process 50 ton/hr is 135.4 HP.
2) The void fraction of the bed is 0.37.
Explanation:
1) For this type of milling operations, we can estimate the power needed for an operation according to the work index (Ei), the passing size of the circuit feed (F80) and the passing size of the product (P80).
We assume the units of Ei are kWh/t.
The equation that relates this parameters and the power is (size of particles in μm):
The power needed to process 50 ton/hor is
2) The density of the packed bed can be expressed as
being f the fraction and ρ the density of every fraction. We know that the density of the void is 0 (ρv=0) and that fv=1-fs (the sum of the fractions ois equal to the total space).
Then we can rearrange
The void fraction of the bed is 0.37.
