Theoryrelatedto size reductionis:
Griffiththeory:
Accordingto it,force applieddependsoncracklengthandfocusof stressat the atomicbondof the
crack apex
T=(Y£/c)1/2
T=tensile strength
2. Y=Young modulus
C=critical pathlength
£=surface energyof wall crack.
Theoriesrelatedtoenergyforcomminution:
1)Rittinger`stheory:Energyrequired forsize reductionof unitmassisdirectlypropotionaltonew
surface produced.
E=K(Sn-Si)
E=amount of energy(Kwh)
K=Rittinger`sconstant(kWh/m3
)
Si=initial specificsurface area
Sn=newspecificsurface area
Most applicable tobrittle material undergofinemillingandthistheoryignores particledeformation
before fracture.
2)Bond`stheory:It saysthat energyusedincrack propagationispropotional tothe new crack length
produced.
E=2K(1/(dn)1/2
-1/(di)1/2
) where Kis bond`sworkindex anddi and dn are initial andfinal
diameters.
BOND WORKINDEX:workrequiredtoreduce aunitweightfroma theoretical infinite sizeto80%
passing 100m.
3)Kick`stheory:Energyusedindeformingasetof particle of equivalentshape ispropotionaltothe
ratioof change in size.
E=K lnDi/Dn K iskick`sconstant and Di and Dn are the initial andfinal
