Mechanical Operations Questions and Answers – Size Reduction Equipments

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

1. For crushing rolls, α is_____
a) Angle of bend
b) Angle of Nip
c) Angle of stamp
d) Angle of Camp
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Angle of nip is the angle formed by the tangents to the roll faces at the point of contact with the particle to be crushed.

2. What is α for average conditions?
a) 0.961
b) 160
c) 170
d) 200
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: For average conditions the angle of nip α is 160 i.e. cos α = 0.961.

3. How can be the angle of nip calculated?
a) r+d/r+R
b) R+r/r+d
c) D/r+d
d) R/r+d
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The angle of nip i.e. cos α = r+d/r+R, where R and r are the radius of feed particle and the roll and d is the diameter of largest possible product.

4. Calculate α. If radius of feed and roll are 100 mm and 500 mm respectively and largest particle is 5 mm?
a) 41.1
b) 32.75
c) 16
d) 20
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: As Cos α = r+d/r+R = 500+5/100+500 = 0.841 = arcos (0.841) = 32.750.

10. As the rate of feed increases, the size reduction ____
a) Increases
b) Remains constant
c) Equals
d) Decreases
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: With high rate of feed, less size reduction is done since the material is retained in the mill for shorter time.
