Ball action

The criterion by which the ball action in mills of various sizes may be compared is the concept of critical speed. It is the theoretical speed at which the centrifugal force on a ball in contact with the mill shell at the height of its path equals the force on it due to gravity ... 

Events or long alarm lists can be presented on the VDUs, but they are normally printed out in the adjacent recording room. Manual orders to process actuators and electric breakers are initiated by a sequence of keyboard and tracker ball actions. Normally, two manual actions are required for initiating a process actuation. 

Furthermore, the nature of the perforations has an effect on the efficiency of ball sealing. The more smooth and symmetrical a perforation is, the better the ball sealer will seat and create diversion—or the better will be the ball action, as it is called. The more irregular a perforation is, the less chance it will have of being adequately sealed. Still, a significant amount of leakage will enable diversion, albeit less efficiently. Unfortunately, the quality of perforations in this regard is not often known. 

Effective ball-sealing action is a function of injection rate. There are rules of thumb regarding rate for example, the minimum required rate for ball action is /io- /4 bpm/perforation. However, an injection rate of 2 bpm, at... 

Sleeve bearings on some older, slower, larger pump shafts can withstand dirt contamination better than ball and roller bearings. This is because the tolerances are not so strict with sleeve bearings, the surface area of contact is greater, and the lubricant flushing action is better. The sleeve bearing material of construction is... 

How would you describe the differences between a cup of coffee and a cup of hot water What probably come to mind are the aroma, the dark color, and the taste of a good cup of coffee. Coffee s action as a stimulant is another obvious difference. These properties come from the chemical compounds that hot water dissolves from ground coffee beans. These compounds are molecules constructed from different atoms bound together in veiy specific arrangements. The molecule that makes coffee a stimulant is caffeine. Our background photo is a magnification of crystals of pure caffeine, and the inset is a ball-and-stick model of this molecule. 

An alternative to the measurement of the dimensions of the indentation by means of a microscope is the direct reading method, of which the Rockwell method is an example. The Rockwell hardness is based on indentation into the sample under the action of two consecutively applied loads - a minor load (initial) and a standardised major load (final). In order to eliminate zero error and possible surface effects due to roughness or scale, the initial or minor load is first applied and produce an initial indentation. The Rockwell hardness is based on the increment in the indentation depth produced by the major load over that produced by the minor load. Rockwell hardness scales are divided into a number of groups, each one of these corresponding to a specified penetrator and a specified value of the major load. The different combinations are designated by different subscripts used to express the Rockwell hardness number. Thus, when the test is performed with 150 kg load and a diamond cone indentor, the resulting hardness number is called the Rockwell C (Rc) hardness. If the applied load is 100 kg and the indentor used is a 1.58 mm diameter hardened steel ball, a Rockwell B (RB) hardness number is obtained. The facts that the dial has several scales and that different indentation tools can be filled, enable Rockwell machine to be used equally well for hard and soft materials and for small and thin specimens. Rockwell hardness number is dimensionless. The test is easy to carry out and rapidly accomplished. As a result it is used widely in industrial applications, particularly in quality situations. 

The classifier described above works very well with coarse particles where exact splits are not needed. Typical applications are in connection with ball or rod mills for reduction to particle sizes between 8- and 20-mesh. These classifiers have high capacities they lift coarse solids for return to the mill, so that auxiliary conveyors and elevators are not required. There are other types of classifier that must be usual for close separations with fine particles. One such device is the centrifugal classifier its action bears a strong resemblance to that of the crossflow classifier, but the settling is greatly accelerated by the substitution of centrifugal force for gravitational force.
