AIM :- To find out the,


1. Rittinger’s law constant
2. Bond’s law constant
3. Kick’s law constant
& to plot size distribution of the material crushed.

EQUIPMENT :-
Jaw crusher, energy meter, stop watch, standard sieves, weight balance,
container disc etc.

MATERIAL :-
Coal or gravel ( Sample size may be +4/ -2 mesh)

THEORY :-
The energy required for size reduction is given by dE/dD = C.Dn
Where, dE= Energy required to effect a change dD in the size of unit
mass of
material
n = Exponent,
C = constant.
1. Rittinger’s law :
P  1 1 
E2 – E1 = ΔE =  = KR −  …….(1)
m  Dsb Dsa 
Where, KR = Rittinger’s constant
Dsa & Dsb = Volume surface mean diameter
m = Mass feed rate for crushing
ΔE = Total energy required for crushing
2. Kick’s law :
P
E2 – E1 = ΔE = = Kk ln[ Dsa/Dsb ]……..(2)
m

Dsa/Dsb = Size reduction ratio
Kk = Kick’s law constant
3. Bond’s law :

P Wi  1 1 
= 
 − 
 ……(3)
m
 10  Dsb Dsa 
Where, P = Power required for crushing in KW
m = Tones of feed in one hour of grinding time(Feed rate in
tons/hour)
Dsa & Dsb= Diameters of sieves through which 80% of the feed & product
pass respectively in mm.
Wi = Work index in KWh/tones {or KW/(tons/hr)}

PROCEDURE :-
1. Run the jaw crusher with no load. Determine the time required to
complete one revolution of energy meter disc(or the time required to
consume 1 unit of electrical energy), for energy calculation.

2. Feed 1000 gm of coal or gravel slowly into the crusher (sample of size
may be +4 to -2 mesh) & note down the power consumption under
crushing condition of jaw crusher, by noting the time required for one
revolution of energy meter disc, with the help of stop watch.
3. Also note down the total time of crushing.
4. Do the sieve analysis of the crushed material.

RESULT:-
1. Rittinger’s constant KR =
2. Bond’s constant KB =
3. Kick’s law constant KK =
