(c) A roller crusher has rolls of 200 cm in diameter and 75 cm face width. The
crushing roll surfaces are 1.25 cm apart at the narrowest point. The angle
of nip 30?. The roll crusher operates at a speed of 150 rpm. They are used
to crush a rock of specific gravity of 2.35. Calculate the maximum
permissible size of feed and the maximum actual capacity in metric tons
per hour, if the actual capacity is 15% of the theoretical.

used for grinding. Presently, for the material being ground, the mill is run
at 15 rpm. At what speed will the mill have to be run if the 100 mm balls
are replaced by 50 mm balls, all the other conditions remaining the same?

Q.3 (a) Industrially filtration is carried at constant pressure drop and not at
constant volume flow rate. Justify your answer.
03
(b) Differentiate classifier and clarifier. 04
(c) Explain construction and working of continuous rotary vacuum filter. 07

(c) Explain Muller mixer in detail with neat sketch. 07
OR
Q.4 (a) What is swirling and what are its effect on liquid mixing. 03
(b) Enlist different types of flow pattern induced in an Agitated vessel
contains liquid.
04
(c) List different types of industrial conveyers and explain any one in detail. 07
