The capacity of a classifier in 'tons of solid/hr' is given by (where, A = cross-sectional area in m2, V = rising velocity of fluid in m/sec, S = percentage of solids in the suspension by volume, ρ = density of solids in kg/m3)_________________?
Correct answer: A. 3.6 AVS.ρ
- A. 3.6 AVS.ρ
- B. 3.6 A.V.ρ
- C. 3.6 A.S. ρ
- D. 3.6 AVS/ρ
- E. Answer: Option
Explanation
The solid volumetric flow is AVS, and multiplying it by solid density gives kg/s; the factor 3.6 converts this to tonnes per hour. Therefore the capacity is 3.6AVSρ.
