What is a Trommel Screen?
A trommel screen, also known as a rotary screen, is a mechanical screening machine used to separate materials, mainly in the mineral and solid-waste processing industries ,It consists of a perforated cylindrical drum that is normally elevated at an angle at the feed end. Physical size separation is achieved as the feed material spirals down the rotating drum, where the undersized material smaller than the screen apertures passes through the screen, while the oversized material exits at the other end of the drum..
How to Calculate Mass Fraction of Material in Feed?
Mass Fraction of Material in Feed calculator uses Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed = (Mass Flow Rate of Overflow/Mass Flow Rate of Feed)*(Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow-Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow)+Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow to calculate the Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed, The Mass Fraction of Material in Feed is the ratio of the mass of that substance/material to the total mass of the mixture in the feed. It tells us about the amount of substance present. Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed is denoted by XF symbol.
How to calculate Mass Fraction of Material in Feed using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Mass Fraction of Material in Feed, enter Mass Flow Rate of Overflow (D), Mass Flow Rate of Feed (F), Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow (XD) & Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow (XB) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Mass Fraction of Material in Feed calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.2 = (10/20)*(0.3-0.1)+0.1.
