30.1 MSH (SCREENING):
It is desired to separate a mixture of crystals into three
fractions, a coarse fraction retained on an 8-mesh screen, a
middle fraction passing an 8-mesh screen but retained on a 14-
mesh screen , and a fine fraction passing a 14-mesh screen.
Two screens in series are used, an 8-mesh and 14-mesh,
conforming to the Tyler standard. Screen analyses of feed,
coarse, medium, and fine fractions are given. Assuming that the
analyses are accurate, what do they show about the ratio by
weight of each of the three fractions actually obtained? What
is the effectiveness of each screen if the desired products are
the oversize.

The low effectiveness of the screens might have been caused by the presence of
considerably large amounts of undesired particles in the desired oversize streams.
Also, having large amount of oversize particles might have made it difficult for the
fine particles to come into contact with the screen and pass through.

The arithmetic mean diameter (or number mean) is calculated by

multiplying the number of particles
in each size group by the average size 𝐷 ഥ𝑝𝑖 for that group
and dividing the sum of these terms by the total no. of particles. The
volume mean diameter is computed by getting the cube root of the summation of the weight
ഥ 𝑝𝑖 3 .Dividing by the
faction divided by the 𝐷
total number of particles gives an average value of 𝐷 ഥ 𝑝3 and the cube root
ഥ Thus, the very small particles, which are in enormous numbers affect
gives 𝐷𝑣.
the volume mean less than they do the number mean. Since the number mean gives equal
weight to each particle in the entire mass.
