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.
