2. (b) Write the construction and working of rotary air screen cleaners (04)
3. (c) What are laws of size reduction and energy calculation? In a wheat milling experiment, it was found that to grind 4 mm sized grains to IS sieve 35 (0.351 mm opening), the power requirement was 10 Kw. Calculate the power requirement for milling wheat by the same mill to IS sieve 15(0.157 mm opening) using Rittingers’ law. Feed rate of milling is 180 kg/h. (07)

Q.3

1. (a) Describe the importance of shape of food products in food processing. Differentiate between sphericity and roundness. (03)
2. (b) What do you understand by optical and electrical properties of food materials? Give some of its application in food processing. (04)

3. (c) A cold store has a wall comprising of 11cm of bricks on the outside then 7.5cm of concrete and then 10cm of cork. The temperature within the store is maintained -18°C and outside temperature of the wall is at 18°C. Calculate the rate of heat transfer. The thermal conductivities are for bricks, concrete and cork 0.69, 0.76 and 0.043 J/ms’C. Also determine the temperature at interfaces between concrete and cork layers and bricks and concrete layers.
