Section 6: Agricultural Process Engineering

Size Reduction and Milling

Subtopic: Size Reduction and Milling

Question Statement:

Kick's law of size reduction states that the energy required is proportional to:

Options:

  • (A) The reduction ratio of the material ($E = K_K \ln(L_1 / L_2)$)
  • (B) The square of new surface area
  • (C) The inverse square root of particle size
  • (D) The feed rate

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Kick's law assumes energy required is proportional to volume or mass reduction ratio: $dE / dL = -C L^{-1} \implies E = K_K \ln(L_1 / L_2)$.
