Five tons per hour of limetone undergoes size reduction passing thru a crusher with a surface area of the feed and the product of 100 and 200 m2/kg, respectively. Calculate the required power to crush the limestone assuming to apply Rittinger’s Law having a Rittinger’s number of 0.0765 m2/J. If the machine consumes a power of 4 hP, how much efficiency does it applies?
