Half the angle of nip, (α), for a roll crusher is given by (where, dr, dp and df are diameters of crushing rolls, feed particles and rolls gap respectively) ?

Correct answer: A. cos α = (dr + dp)/(dr + df)

  • A. cos α = (dr + dp)/(dr + df)
  • B. cos α = (dr + df)/(dr + dp)
  • C. tan α = (dr + dp)/(dr + df)
  • D. sin α = (dr + dp)/(dr + df)

Explanation

For a roll crusher, the geometric nip relation is cos α = (dr + dp)/(dr + df), where the feed particle diameter and roll gap determine the limiting contact angle. The other expressions use the wrong trigonometric function or interchange the size terms.
