Average Particle Size - Mechanical Operations Questions and Answers

This set of Mechanical Operations Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Average Particle Size”.

1. The volume surface mean diameter, can be defined as ___
a) 6/Φ_sA_wP_p
b) 6/Φ_sA_wV_p
c) 6/Φ_sA_wD_p
d) 6/Φ_sA_wS_p
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The average particle size of a mixture is defined by the volume surface mean diameter D_s which is related to A_w as 6/Φ_sA_wP_p.

2. Volume of any particle, can be given as ______
a) a*D_p³
b) a*D_p²
c) a*D_p
d) a*S_p
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The volume of any particle is proportional to the cube of the diameter of the given shape
i.e. V_p = a*D_p³, where a is shape factor.

a) Energy wasted to Energy wasted
b) Energy wasted to Energy created
c) Energy created Energy wasted
d) Energy Destroyed to Energy wasted
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The ratio of surface energy created by crushing to the energy absorbed y the solid is defined as the crushing efficiency nc.

4. Crushing Efficiency ranges between ____
a) 0.06 and 1%
b) 0.05 and 2%
c) 0.5 to 5%
d) 60 to 90%
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The surface energy create is comparatively low with the total mechanical energy stored in the material, crushing efficiency is therefore low.

5. The ratio of energy absorbed to the energy input is defined as the ___
a) Crushing Efficiency
b) Mechanical Efficiency
c) Work Done
d) Final Power
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The mechanical efficiency id denoted by nm and is defined as the ratio of energy absorbed to the energy input (w).

6. On which of the equation below, Energy absorbed can be calculated?
a) es(A1-A2)/D_p
b) es(A1-A2)/n_c
c) es(A1-A2)/w_c
d) es(A1-A2)/s_c
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The energy absorbed can be given as es(A1-A2)/w_c, where es is the surface energy per unit area and A₁ and A₂ are the area of mass of feed and product.

7. The power required, can be given by ____
a) w*D_p
b) w*A_s
c) w*n_c
d) w*m
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The power required by the machine can be calculate by P = w*m, where m is the feed rate and the w is the energy absorbed.

8. The surface are of the particle, is given as _____
a) πd²s
b) Φd²s
c) πV²s
d) πP²s
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: If Sp is taken as to be the surface area of the particle, then it is given by πd²s, where d_s is the diameter of the sphere particle.

9. The Bubble or Drop size diameter, is referred to _____
a) Frisch diameter
b) Bubble diameter
c) Sauter diameter
d) Sphere diameter
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: When surface area and the bubble are controlling parameters then, in such cases these diameters are called as Sauter diameter.

10. What is arithmetic mean diameter?
a) S_id_i/S_i
b) V_id_i/V_i
c) N_id_i/N_i
d) W_id_i/W_i
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Arithmetic mean diameter D_N is given as the ratio of number of particles of size‘d’ to the total number of particles.
