Size Reduction and Milling

Subtopic: Size Reduction and Milling

Question Statement:

A hammer mill rotor has radius $r = 0.25\text{ m}$ to the hammer tips and spins at $N = 3000\text{ rpm}$. The tip speed $v_{tip} = \frac{2 \pi N r}{60} = \frac{2 \times 3.1416 \times 3000 \times 0.25}{60}$ in m/s is (rounded off to one decimal place):

Answer Key:

78.5

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$v_{tip} = \frac{4712.39 \times 0.25}{60} = \frac{1178.1}{60} = 78.54\text{ m/s} \approx 78.5\text{ m/s}$.
