    What are the various types of crushers? Give some type of crusher and explain any one
    of them with neat diagram.
    [12M]
    (OR)
    a) A pair of rolls is to take a feed equivalent to spheres of 3 cm in diameter and crush
    them to spheres having 1 cm diameter. If the coefficient of friction is 0.29, what would
    be the diameter of rolls?
    [6M]
    b) In a ball mill of diameter 2000 mm, 100 mm dia steel balls are being used for grinding.

    Regulation : 10

    Code No: CH204

    b) A filtration is carried out for 10 min at a constant rate in a leaf filter and thereafter it
    is continued at constant pressure. This pressure is that attained at the end of the constant
    rate period. If one quarter of the total volume of the filtrate is collected during the
    constant rate period, what is the total filtration time? Assume that the cake is
    incompressible and the filter medium resistance is negligible.
