(b)
If both the distributions fit the Rosin-Rammler particle size distribution function.
Answer to Problem 4.11P
Only the product distribution fits the Rosin-Rammler distribution function.
Explanation of Solution
Only the distribution for the product fits the Rosin-Rammler distribution function as in the feed distribution the characteristic size is of very high order of
Thus, only the product distribution fits the Rosin-Rammler distribution function.
(c)
The diagram for the particle size distribution curve for the given cases.
Answer to Problem 4.11P
- The feed becomes wetter (higher moisture content).
The particle size distribution curve is shown below.
The particle size distribution curve is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
Figure (1)
When the moisture content is increase the product size also increases considerably.
Figure (2)
When the shredder speed is increased the product size decreases considerably.
