A cyclone is operated in a closed circuit with a ball mill. The cyclone is feed from a rod mill with a slurry that has a density of 1250 kg/m3 while the solid bulk density is 2900 kg/m3. Cyclone overflow goes to flotation circuit consists of a rougher, a scavenger and one cleaner cell. The slury feed to the rougher has 15% solids (overflow) while the feed to ball mill (underflow) from the cyclone has 50% solids with a mass flow rate of 40 t/h.

• Draw a possible flow sheet of the process
• Calculate the mass flow rate of the feed from rod mill to cyclone (hint: you need to calculate % solids in feed and dilution ratios)

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
